Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location is good, central to most places. However, this is not a 4 star hotel. This is merely a 3 star hotel only. There is not even a safe in the room and I find this inconvenient. The bed is too soft and pillow is flat and only 3 pillows provided for a 2 persons stay. I booked for 2 nights and landed up staying only 1 night.
