Nishant, the Mgr. I met in the morning, has been very welcoming! I also found Kiran, who received me when I came late at night, was also very welcoming & efficient. The room was comfortable & clean, and the breakfast was nicely presented with everything provided! I will definitely return!

I had a ‘late-arrival’ reservation and was pleasantly greeted & accommodated by the night manager. It was welcome treatment after a long, weary day!
