The premises were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was adequate, though nothing particularly noteworthy. However, the air conditioning in our room was rather noisy. We seemed to become accustomed to the sound after a day. Additionally, there were some stains on one of the bed sheets and a pillow. Upon informing the housekeeping staff, they promptly replaced them for us. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

One of the nicer hotels in the area

Exactly as advertised. Clean, easy to book and check-in. Staff was helpful. There were a couple amenities that were unavailable or temporarily out of order, but nothing important to us. Hotel is at the end of a No Outlet road, making for less people traffic and a safer experience. Would stay here again.

Stay was good but we couldn’t get breakfast in the morning as it was available till 9 AM on weekdays though on weekends it was available till 10 AM. It should be either 9 AM or 10 AM on all days shouldn’t be different timings on weekdays and weekends… trvallers are not aware and due to this confusion their schedule can be disturbed
