Charming Stay

friendly staff tasty food quick service comfy bed
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I arrived late and wanted food. The restaurant in the back called Desh was open. I ate there. The food was what I needed and very tasty. The service was quick despite a busy restaurant. The room was quite roomy and the bed was indeed comfy.
The room lacked a wardrobe with easy access. It was built into eaves, and you needed to be short to use it.

The overwhelming smell of curry permeated everything. It lingered in the hallways and even managed to seep into the room.. i seemed like i was marinating.

Reasonable Accommodation

comfortable bed helpful staff convenient location unstable tray hot water burn risks
My room included a big window and a comfortable bed. The staff was helpful to me. The location was convenient when I took my road trip. The town seemed nice for a walk.
The drinks tray was unstable. It sat on the edge of one of the bedside tables. The kettle boiled and then I went to switch it off. It fell off with hot water scattering everywhere. That situation could cause serious burns.
