Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a very courteous staff, but the dining experience is average. The location is ideal for families and convenient to explore the nearby market area. The services provided are generally friendly, although some encounters may feel slightly rude. Despite some drawbacks, the overall value for money is reasonable.
The hotel is centrally located near the shopping street Nehru Road, making it convenient for exploring the town. The rooms may lack some amenities initially, but the overall experience is pleasant. The service is friendly, although there were some hiccups in communication. The dining options could be varied, and the breakfast service needs improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a quality experience. The service from the staff was cordial and helpful, although the behavior in the restaurant was a bit lacking. The location was ideal, close to the town center and with convenient access to shops and autos. The dining options were average with limited variety, but the complementary offerings were decent. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
