The hotel offers spacious rooms with the convenience of accommodating a third person comfortably on the existing duvet. Despite some minor damp spots on a couple of walls, the rooms are large and connect to a garden, providing a standard stay value at ₹6500 post-tax. The service, though lacking in decision-making empowerment, is courteous and personalized, catering to individual guest preferences. The tranquil location amidst lush greenery is ideal for exploring the nearby Gorumara National Park and tea gardens, with tastefully designed cottages enhancing the peaceful Dooars stay.
