Our originally booked room was small, dark and downstairs in a noisy part of the hotel. When we arrived, the clerk offered us a room upgrade for 1000 rupees (around $20CAD) per night.
The upgraded room was great, on the second floor with a big window and ocean view and a large private balcony. The upgraded room looks like the hotel photo we saw on the Expedia page - the originally offered room does not. We were totally happy with the upgraded room - it was just 50% higher than the price we had budgeted for.
All in all, though, we loved the location and the room was totally comfortable.
