We stayed here. Refer pics below for hotel. It is really very good if
you are going there as a couple for honeymoon or just for a good holiday. Its range starts from Rs 1200. But there are a lot of lodges
and budget hotels in the market. You can get as cheap as 150 per person

This hotel has nice rooms with a lot of space and clean washroom and AC.
The Dining Hall was good and decent and staff was well behaved and breakfast was complementary.
