The location is its biggest selling point. It is located right in front of the beach, and you get a sea view from the AC rooms only. But the service is just about ordinary for the price. In my case, the AC did not work in 202, but they provided an alternative room. This may not happen when the hotel is fully booked. The food isn't great either.

The location is its biggest selling point. It is located right in front of the beach, and you get a sea view from the AC rooms only. But the service is just about ordinary for the price. In my case and the AC did not work in 202, but they provided an alternative room. This may not happen when the hotel is fully booked. The food isn't great either. You may prefer walking down to Subham for a better experience.
