The establishment is run by a very caring and loving family. I was well taken care of for any needs I had right from accessories to arranging taxis and transportation. Despite so many food options nearby I exclusively stuck to their fresh delicious home made breakfast and dinner (even though my stay rate didn’t originally include those) which had new options daily. Please don’t let the (comparatively) low hotel rate mislead you - this is a top notch place with all the basics of the hard product available, but the service and the attention is what to me (as someone who spends over a 100 days on the road annually) was invaluable! Highly recommend this place; you won’t regret it a bit. ##### AMRISH Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Pushpa Sep 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very Good Personalised service taking care of clients comforts.
