I would definitely go again.
Pros:

The location of the property was in a prime area of the city and the Thanjai Periya Kovil was ten minutes away. The hotel staff were receptive and friendly. The rooms were clean and for the budget the room was available for, it was definite value for money. We cannot expect too many utilities therein but the room was clean. Overall it was good stay

Cons:

The only place where they definitely could develop was that although the restroom was clean, there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders in the bath area. They need to focus on clearing them more thoroughly.
