Good clean property. Big rooms. But the area is poor. No shops or restaurant around. Unsafe to walk around. the arena mall is too far about 20 minutes away by walk. It looks close but it is not.

The property is very new, one year old so everything about the property is amazing. The room and outdoor are vary spacious. For indian, food options are limited and is bit away from city centre to look for restaurant. Highly recommended
