The Good Experience:
- we were upgraded at no extra cost
- the room was recently refurbished to great standards
- prompt and helpful staff (room cleaning)
- prompt and attentive staff (reception)
- accommodated parking for a bike lent by a local friend
The Not So Good Experience:
- they do not respond to emails which is a bad for NRI guests who have to make ISD calls for enquiries
- refurbished room included recently painted walls, strong smell of which lingered for first two nights
- wifi connectivity was poor and password was changed on daily basis with us having to follow-up
- not a day went by during our 5 night stay without the access key to the room getting invalidated
- they were unable to serve any ice-cream on one of the nights it was ordered after dinner
- certain members of concierge need to refrain from demanding tips or showing desperation for it, the deserving will be tipped generously and they were
Unacceptable Experience:
- I was intimated by my credit card company after reaching my resident country, that the hotel attempted to charge my credit card twice without my knowledge. Booking was through hotels.com and it was clear that full settlement with hotel was to be made in local currency. I have settled with the hotel in local currency. However, their attempt to charge my card had to be reported as fraud which has led to cancellation of my credit card and I have been inconvenienced with waiting for a new one to be issued.
