    Worst experience ever!

    girish s.couple

    First they do not contact you even if u exceed the check in time. They are least bothered if u have arrived, lost or whatevr! there are literally no staffs in the stay except for one old man. No food facility! dirty washrooms! unhygienic place. Do not book if you are looking for a hassle free stay.
