A cheap stay. A hotel that attracts a terrible crowd. Staff is very courteous but ill-trained in hotel management. Mixing family (with kids) with crowd that wants to eat, smoke and drink all day was insensitive to terrible, to say the least. Noise emanating from a rowdy bunch all through the night left us sleepless and tired when we woke up. Pool is good but with the crowd that comes, it's best to stay away. First room had the ceiling leaking. Ceiling had a lot of mold. Was shifted to another room immediately (again, example of courteous staff) but second room had 3 neighboring rooms filled with this smoking bunch. Hotel staff would do nothing to either contain their noise (they all had their doors open - yes, it's that kind of uncivilized crowd) or contain the cigarette smoke that filled the entire floor all through the day and night. Food was average. Beds were uncomfortable. Service was average. We had to ask for extra towels (we were 3 of us) and bath mats EVERY single day. The towels are more like sand paper - must be a decade old and of poor quality. Overall, a cheap stay - if that's what you are looking for, this foots the bill. If you are looking for a silent getaway - stay away. Location is bad. So, not ideal for folks travelling to explore the Puducherry french quarter or the beach!
