“I happened to stay here for my trip to Meghalaya with 2 other guys for 3 days and I should say the stay was very pleasant and comfortable. Couple of resturants to have food from around here which are at walkable distance. All the major attractions are around 5-10kms from here - comfortable in thar aspect as well. Complementary breakfast was also pretty good....”

The famous Double Decker Bridge is around 1 hour drive. The food was good, the service was good, rooms were clean. It was our girls' trip and we were quite satisfied and happy.”
