I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were in good condition, with a working heater and even provided with 2 small bottles of water. The basic facilities were all there, making my stay comfortable. However, the price could have been a bit more competitive. The service was efficient, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry options, but it was just average. The location was convenient, right beside an Indian temple and in the center of the town, close to various amenities. The dining experience was satisfactory, especially the cream cakes. The facilities were decent, but there is room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and equipped with basic facilities like two bottles of water, and the heater worked perfectly, making my stay very comfortable. The hotel is in good condition overall, but there were minor issues with value for money. The location was convenient right next to a temple, but being behind an Indian temple could be a bit noisy at times.
