Everything. The city had so much to offer in the way of facilities such as shopping, eating, fitness and exercise. The main road, Greenleaf Avenue, had a variety of different shops, bars, restaurants and cafe's all within walking distance of the Radisson Hotel which made the experience all the more pleasant.
