From the moment we stepped out of our airport transfer, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that set the tone for our entire stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a well-maintained bathroom. The TV offered a wide variety of channels, perfect for relaxing in the evening. Breakfast was outstanding—especially the live stations where we could order fresh dosa and scrambled eggs to order.
