The location is convenient. I found the owner Arif very helpful, especially with carrying our bags upstairs. He ensured we had everything we needed! The room had tea and coffee making facilities. Free parking was available near a locked gate.

I noticed the decor could use some updating. For example, the carpets looked somewhat old.

Although I didn't require breakfast at the hotel, they offer a dining area. The staff can provide glasses if you bring your own alcohol. This is a nice alternative. I liked the flexibility.
