The hotel location is perfect for easy access to the temple and railway station, but it might feel a bit crowded at times. The rooms are small but kept clean, similar to what you might find in an average lodge. The staff, especially the gentleman assisting with luggage, are kind and helpful, though there might be slight communication challenges for some. The dining experience is below average, with simple and unimpressive dishes. Overall, it offers a convenient stay for a day visit with some drawbacks to consider.
