“Rooms are well-maintained and hygienic, particularly the washrooms. Its location right off the Pondy-Tindivanam route is convenient, with ample parking. I note that it's a bit outside Pondicherry, requiring a vehicle to reach the city and beaches; on the upside, this adds to the peaceful environment.”
