the location is beautiful. my room had a large tv. it also featured three windows. they allowed me to keep the space cool during my august stay. there was a tandoori restaurant available. it served excellent food at reasonable prices.

the light switch for the bathroom was on the other side of the room. it seemed to be in poor condition.
