    5 stars services. Staffs were very friendly. Got room tour and brief of history during the check-in. Located at the center of Georgetown and walkable distance most of attractions. Although it's a small mansion but it has everything that you need. Pool was nice, room was clean and spacious and do enjoy at the lounge area as it was very relax to sit in. Compliment snacks and drinks and free-flow Wine tasting session severed on limited time everyday with free-flow cheese too! The owner and manager did greet us warmly and even sent us off during our check out. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.…
