of chaps wouldn't think twice about it either, but theres not too many soldiers stop here I can see that with the exception of officers for it is a bit of a swell place, the rooms are beautifully got up especially the drawing & breakfast room's the latter is done in red & white & is something lovely to rest in & they have all the tables decorated with creamy & golden flowers & it looks tip-top with the snowy white linen & silver cutlery, the drawing room is in green & white & filled with beautiful palms flowers statues pictures & etc & wherever you go there are splendid carpets & every possible convenience
