Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the spacious executive suite we were upgraded to, although it was different from the photos we saw when booking. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with some cooperativeness but lacking in offerings like tea, coffee, or cooked eggs during the mornings. The location, although slightly away from the main city, offers a central positioning and great curd rice on the room service menu. The dining experience was fantastic, though the restaurant size may not accommodate large groups comfortably.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast, with a downside of discrepancies from the online presentation. The service is excellent, with attentive and polite staff. The dining experience is good, although charges may apply despite promises. The hotel facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel offers decent-sized rooms, but with rather old fittings and facing the road, which was a bit of a turnoff. The location is perfect, just a few miles from main sightseeing spots. The dining experience, though all-day awesome, could improve with more breakfast variety. Overall, a good choice for a stay with some minor drawbacks.
