Good size clean room, lots of amenities. Dining was decent but a little pricy, but with no other options nearby we reluctantly paid up. Great location for entering the park early.

The location is very convenient. It is not far from the entrance. The surrounding is peaceful. After one rough night in curry village, we got a good night sleep in the hotel. I want to give full recommendation.
