Excellent location.
Excelent location. Cafe and resto around, 1 mnt across the road to the lake. Alot of parking spots @ back. Service are excellent. Room bit small for 3 persons. Clean bed and toilet. The only down side from this hotel is there is no AC only fan. It is ok in winter but very hot in summer
