Really good stay!

helpful staff wonderful bathroom

the staff were helpful. Mahesh at the front desk always wore a nice smile. He also assisted with transportation. The bedroom was attractive and the bathroom was wonderful. It provided sufficient space for comfort.

i encountered noise. I realized the restaurant becomes a discotheque certain nights. The room was on the first floor above the restaurant. The music continued until approximately 1:00 a.m.
