Hotel with a view
It stands in a quiet corner of Purasaiwalkam, near the Jeremiah Park. With its front door opening out to the park, there was nothing else for it but to name this hotel "The Park View Inn"!

Nice looking hotel. Like to see the view.
ReplyDeleteA very charming small hotel. I'm sure it has much more personality than those big hotel chains.
