Hotel Grapevine

4.5 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (7)
"The hotel (Grapevine) per se is excellent with good staff. Since its a bit far away from places of worship, it is imperative that good rates are negotiated with local travel agents (1800 + taxes for 8 hr/80 km) is too high.Also an ATM within/closer to hotel premise would be great help. Also, request local municipal corporation to install more lights on roads. the Hotel as i said is excellent and no complains really on that front."
