Secret Garden Hotel

I heard a new boutique hotel, so called Secret Garden Hotel, is opened near Tambun Road. So I drive around the area & finally found it at Cheah Cheng Lim Road, neighbouring Prima Ipoh Condominium. There are few bungalows in similar architecture along this road & some are vacant. The hotel was not open when I reach there & I saw a banner of hotel opening party without date. I was wondering whether the hotel & dinning have started operating. Anyway, the colonial style building looked good & I hope it serves nice accommodation & good food. However, the landscaping of front garden needs improvement, probably a better paved road & a grass field.
