We have been there from 4 to 7 june 2013. Hotel location is excellent near lake. Very first hotel on Mall Road. But still there are better options available on mall road very nearer to market.

The room they offered me was huge and bed was sufficient for three of us. Hotel is no doubt very old but its very well maintained... More
