- ZKZ K-MalhotraNov 12, 20254.0Good place for a nights stay. The bed is very comfortable! They can improve on the breakfast, the omelette is that package eggs, very distasteful. Please do scrambled! The ladies in the restaurant were cheerful and helpful. The front desk young girl had an attitude at check in but she softened afterwards. Overall, ok place!
