Staff was very friendly, first day we booked room with toilet, it was amazing. Second day due to weather change, we had to stay one more night and staff handled our check in seamlessly, we were given room earlier than our check-in time and it saved a lot of time and effort. Toilet is just few step distance and it was very convenient. Kitchen wise, it is clean, neat and tidy. Plus point for breakfast provided and free soup every evening.
