"The stay was made beautiful by the extremely attentive and supportive staff. They were kind, and patient and all together lovely. Special thanks to Shruti hostess at dining hall"
"Frondesk and restaurant people are super judgemental. You will only greeted if you are dressed as per their standard. Special attention is given to foreigners while indians are generally disregarded and disrespected. House cleaning were super nice but ladies opening the gate are super judgemental about you and your looks. I would never recommend anyone to stay there. Also loud music till 2 or 3 am is very common. You just can’t sleep after an exhausting day because dj is continuously playing...
"Very comfortable beds. The king bed was spacious enough for two of us and our young child. For our other kid they set up a comfy roll away bed. And the room was still spacious.
Staff very helpful and efficient. We checked in at midnight and they were quick and accommodating!
Breakfast buffet was the highlight! Wonderful spread and amazing staff!"
"A great and nice place in a bustling neighborhood. The hotel and amenities are good for a peaceful stay. The staff is very cooperative and helpful. We only ate the breakfast, and it was a great spread with variety of options for gluten free also. Overall, a great experience."
