This was my multiple visit over a short period. I noticed the team provides wonderful service. The cleanliness was consistently super clean. The staff addressed any requests I had promptly.
The hotel's basic nature might not appeal to those seeking luxury.

river vibes and tasty bites

river viewrelaxing seatinglovely burgersmall room
i found the river view beautiful and outside seating very relaxing. having a burger meal in the restaurant, i thought it was lovely and priced well. the room included everything, such as shampoo, conditioner, handwash, moisturizer, and iron.
the room, though clean, felt a bit small. i noticed staff knocked continuously from 9 am to check when i check out, even though checkout was at 12pm. i am not sure why they kept hassling.
