My stay at Southern Sun The Cullinan was overall enjoyable, thanks to its prime location and comfortable accommodations. However, I did face some service inconsistencies, particularly with room service and dining arrangements. While the breakfast was plentiful and flavorful, there were some lapses in timely service that detracted from my experience.
