I would like to know what kind of 3 star hotels in Manali are available for a June family holiday which we have planned. I know a 3-star hotel won't be too luxurious, but it should be decent with at least an LCD TV and free WiFi services. The bathroom should be clean and modern type. My budget is around Rs2500 per night.
