NIKHIL CHAKRAVARTHY

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was a decent stay, but the room felt like a bit too warmer than we’d expect, and the only way to cool a bit is to use the table-top fan they gave for each bed, which wasn’t enough. I arrived past the checkin time, at around 1.45am and they checked me in without any issues. Also the checkout was pretty seamless - i gave my parking pass and room key, and that was it.
