The hotel is in a convenient location close to the event venue and easily accessible from the train station. The rooms have a classic design but lack modern amenities. The service was a mix of attentive and dismissive encounters. The dining experience was pleasant with well-cooked dishes. Overall, a good stay with room for improvement.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at the hotel. The rooms really were not up to expectations; they were grubby and lacked proper care. Additionally, the hotel's location was not ideal for me. However, the service from the staff was exceptional and they truly went above and beyond to assist me during my stay.

The hotel is in a perfect location for both enjoying cricket days and socializing in the evenings. The rooms are spacious and offer a fantastic bed for a restful sleep, although some noise could be heard at times. The service was friendly and attentive overall, although there were moments of stress noted. The dining experience was a mix, with some dishes being disappointing while others were brilliant.
