Great place to stay as it’s in the center of town & can easily reach other places. Customer service is excellent. We had to leave one of our suitcase with them. They kept it safe for no extra charge.

The TV picture quality was not good. Also the choice of channels were insufficient. For a person who stayed 14 nights, it was boring because this was lacking.

Great place
Central location. Walking distance to restaurants, banks, shopping centers etc. Very clean lobby, elevator, room and bath room. Want to give a big shout out to Anuradha from the front desk for his courteous, professional and friendly service. Same goes for Sakunthala and Susantha.
