great location helpful staff tasty dishes funny smell dirt marks empty bottle
The LOCATION was great. I liked that the staff were helpful. The pub was a bonus. I got some tasty traditional Indian dishes at fair prices.
The room had a FUNNY smell. The bedding had dirt marks, and the cupboards were dusty. The shower gel bottle was nearly empty. This WAS disappointing.
