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 hotel restaurant serves Indian cuisine until 9:30 PM. It is conveniently located within the hotel. There is also a bar which offers a selection of drinks. It's a real treat, I must say -.

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.
