My stay at the hotel was mostly enjoyable thanks to the breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar range from the balcony. It’s just an 8-minute walk from Khajjiar Valley, which is fantastic. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as the food quality was only okay and service was slow. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there’s room for improvement in service and dining.
