Delicious Breakfast

I had an amazing experience having breakfast in the garden seating area. The ambiance was great, and the rosemary chicken was simply the best I've ever had! Although it took around 45 minutes for our order to arrive, it was absolutely worth the wait.

Spacious and Comfortable

The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, perfect for couples. The bed was large, and the relaxing morning atmosphere made it a nice getaway. We even requested an extra towel and toiletries, which were promptly provided.

Good Channel Variety

I appreciated the variety of TV channels available during our stay. There were Indian movies, sports, and even National Geographic. It was enjoyable having something to watch while we relaxed in our room.
