👍 I wouldn't wanna call this place dark and shady.., but it was like one of the places from the 80s cinema. They have a huge screen in the middle along with the dance floor.. All the usual spirits are available. I liked the ambience but the placed seemed to lack a bit of energy. People often mention Good, good,

    Good Bar. Reasonable price. The best part is the service. The staff is very friendly and quick. The bar is very large and had a large screen for watching sports. It had a dance floor but not operational now. Hotel itself is old and you can see those signs in the bar too. Hotel has a good parking space.

    Broken Doors, Broken handles, untidy atmosphere, no sufficient lighting inside the room!!! For the price tag of 3000 per day is too too much for this!! Totally unhappy with the room. I wish there was negative marks to record.

    Bar is a dark place with normal ac bar.. beer cost around rs.300 and few complimentaries like chips and cucumber.... Not much crowded...hence the cost is high. Obviously der is a dancing floor
