My husband & I stayed here for our 3 year wedding anniversary trip. Check in was very easy, and staff was very nice & welcoming. We got up to our room and it was HUGE. Very spacious, even had a couch and coffe table. The A.C. was ice cold, and they had black our curtains. We stayed on the 3rd floor. It was really quiet the whole time we were there. Breakfast was free and provided downstairs. It was alao quite nice. Could use a few very small upgrades or touch ups but we defintely don't have any complaints. The hotel was very clean, the room was also very clean and nice. 10/10 highly recommend. We were very impressed. We will defintely be back. :)

Nice place to stay, the lady at the desk Ms Usha was great very helpful and responsive respectful. My only issue was the water pressure in the shower if it was a little bit stronger that would have been great. but for the short trip for my cousin wedding nice place would recommend
