I have worked as a travel agent for over 4 ½ years but was not visiting this hotel in that capacity. There are 2 hotels in the area & the one I am referring to has the signage on the hill behind it & a pool out back which women are not allowed to use, surrounded by rocks. It is... More

The Good: The Hotel was very good, especially considering its 2-star rating (as written outside the hotel building), the rates were a bit on the higher side. The Bad: The restaurant service was one of the worst i had ever experienced. The reason for that can be attributed to the lack of sufficient staff to attend to the customers. There... More
