Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Regarding breakfast - being vegetarian the options were very limited and portion size was also small. After asking for more it was told they it's fixed food size and extra means extra price. I think breakfast option should be more appropriate and it's handling should be done more appropriate like other hotels as it is not good to restrict the person for eating when they are paying so much for the stay.
