The services were pathetic. There was no wifi and when i complaint the IT guy blamed my device even though wifi was getting connected in reception area. There was no response from the team and they just ghosted. Will never recommend it to anyone.

Not value for money

Classic rooms are very small, property looks little old. Restaurant has many bees and was a challenge. Food options are good. Overall, I felt it’s overpriced for the facilities available

Not worth it!

The place is far away from the town. The rooms are very basic, and small. Housekeeping is poor. Breakfast was ordinary. Terribly overpriced. Not a great experience.

Relaxed weekend

The hotel was good but it's a bit of walk from the reception / restaurant to the rooms. If you stay longer you need to walk more. And there is a lot of scope for improvement. Staff is friendly and tried to improve service at the restaurant. Ramesh and Bala Krishna was good at the restaurant.

Not happy....won't recommend

Not the best value for money you pay. Food isn't great - buffet breakfast is not upto the mark. The condition of restaurant is bad. Wi-Fi does not work in rooms. No elevator in hotel; makes it difficult for kids and old. Rooms are not cleaned properly. Be cautious before booking.
