This is a nice mid-range hotel run by the West Bengal Tourist Development Corporation (WBTDC). It's located on NH-55 (Hill Cart road) which goes all the way up to Darjeeling and is about 1km from Kurseong station or the main market area.
The hotel is very popular with parents whose children study at the schools in Kurseong. It's popular with tourists as well. During high season, this is the first hotel to get full. The reception is at the ground level and the rooms are in floors at two lower levels. The reception is staffed by government employees. I have been seeing some staff here since ages. In fact a person in the reception is there for over 22 years.
There is a nice lobby at the reception with great views outside. There are essentially two types of rooms - ones with balconies and the others without. All rooms face the mountains.
While views from some are obstructed by trees, few rooms have great views of the Kanchenjunga snow peaks from windows or balconies.
