I am left with mixed feelings about Suraj Inn. The owner has clearly invested a life time in building up his business. The younger generation does not have the same dedication. I had to wait a long time for hot water for washing to be delivered to my room. The single room did not have running hot watet. I would not recommend the travel service that is linked to the hotel. A train booking that should take 30min was not completed in a day and then there was a sudden increase in price.
