FANTASTIC seaside getaway!

modern amenities comfortable stay thoughtful arrangements prime location

I loved the neat, well-kept premises. The hotel provided modern amenities for a comfortable stay! Our room had thoughtful arrangements and it included necessary facilities for complete comfort. The prime location near the Gandhi Statue offered nice views. Long beach strolls happened each evening.

I found the absence of private car park quite disappointing. My car was parked away from the hotel.

really good hospitality dedicated staff amazing view outdated room poor drainage forgotten request

I loved the really good hospitality. The staff members were dedicated and great. Room number 30 had a Amazing view of the beach. Sanjeev was a leader. Humaira took really good care of my parents.

The room looked old. The bathroom had a smell due to poor drainage. The sheets were NOT changed during my four-night stay. Housekeeping often forgot requests.
