DIASTROUS - NO ROOM GIVEN POST CONFIRMATION AS WELL. LEFT STRANDED MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
Pros:

The hotel rejected our booking and didnt give us the room and said they were sold out. And we had sleep in our Car with family for making this big mistake of booking here. They say we dont care about booking.com only the ones who book directly get priority & many other guests were also left stranded. I am reviewing for a room I didnt get. Even Booking.com has not courtesy or a process to check if the guests indeed get the accomodation they booked for.

Pros:

Place was clean, neat beds.

Cons:

Shower was in a bad condition, needs to be cleaned or replaced. AC had a dropping sound throughout the night which disturbed my sleep.

It's a not bad hotel, not worth the money.
