Good Room & Friendly Staff
Comfortable & Clean Room with all the required amenities. Had a good sleep with the A/C. I received a phone call within 30 minutes after I completed my check-out informing that I left behind my I-phone charger. Lucky that I was around so came back the same afternoon and collected from the office. Will definitely come back to stay given it was a well placed in a comfortable location in the City.
