Foreigners not allowed
Cons:

I was turned down as I arrived with my 2 children, having received confirmation of my booking through booking.com
The reason: they do not take foreigners (due to paperwork apparently). They just told us to go away rudely, said they'd told Booking.com to stop taking bookings for them. They did not suggest an alternative or try to help in any way.
It was evening time in the middle of Durga Puja and we had to find an alternative at the last minute.

It was a decent stay for a good price.
Pros:

I liked the location and service by staff members.

Cons:

There could be more variety in the breakfast menu. The fan in my non-AC room could be better placed. It was incredibly hot and I did not sleep well.
