We had a family gathering here and stayed for one night.The location was really nice,and the place was clean and well maintained.The staff were very friendly and helpful.Rooms were clean and spacious.. One small suggestion; there was no mirror In room which located the ground floor.so adding one would be really helpful for guests.. Overall a great place to spend time with family and friends..Highly recommended!!
