The hotel offers spacious rooms, some with a living room, kitchen, and separate bedroom, which are kept clean. The 1BHK layout with a balcony provides ample space to relax without disturbing others, ideal for families. However, improvements could be made in cleanliness and quality of linen, especially in the small washrooms.
