We booked a block of rooms for a wedding at very reasonable rates. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but what really impressed our guests was the professionalism of the staff. Everyone was friendly and had a great attitude.

We had a wonderful experience during our stay, and much of it was thanks to Dev, the hotel manager. From the moment we checked in, Dev was incredibly professional, warm, and welcoming. He made the process smooth and truly set the tone for a great visit.
The next morning at breakfast, Dev personally came by to check on us and make sure everything was going well, a gesture that really stood out. Breakfast itself was excellent, and the breakfast attendant was just as kind and attentive.
The hotel is newly renovated, beautifully updated, and very comfortable. The entire atmosphere made our holiday trip memorable.
Dev is a genuinely kind person, and his dedication to great service shines through. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, modern stay with outstanding hospitality.

What a fantastic stay for our 1 year anniversary! When my husband and I arrived to this hotel, we were put at ease with its beautiful and clean aesthetic, refreshing aroma, and greeting by friendly and hospitable staff! Dev and their newest staff member were exceptionally kind and helped to make our weekend getaway a pleasurable experience. We really appreciated our room on the first floor and loved how neat everything was. The pillow cases were stitched “firm” and “soft,” which was such an elegant touch! Imagine our surprise when we saw all Dove products in the bathroom! The breakfast was delicious and had a good variety (including my fave-turkey sausage). Our stay was quiet, comfortable, and in a solid location to get to our other stops for the weekend. As a bonus, one of the other staff Piyu I think, helped me fill up my water bottle at the fountain in the hallway when my arms were full with towels. Amazing gracious and thoughtful staff! We’d definitely stay here again!
