“Overall, a decent hotel (for India)”
PROS:
-- The cleanliness of the smoke-free rooms was nice
-- Cleaning staff DOES respect the DO NOT DISTURB light, so I really appreciated that
-- Food, especially room service, was pretty decent
CONS:
-- Like every other hotel in India that I've stayed at, the staff has an annoying habit of CONSTANTLY asking "How is your stay?", "Room ok?", "Food ok?", etc. After two weeks of CONSTANTLY being asked the same questions by the same people, it passes the point of annoying. Especially when they call your room at odd hours just to ask if your stay is ok.
-- Several rooms have design flaws which make it near impossible to shower without causing a flood in the bathroom and elsewhere. BE VERY CAREFUL
-- The acoustics are quite annoying in two major areas:
1) The walls between rooms have MAJOR noise bleed. You can hear your neighbor's TV better than yours, when their phone rings it sounds like it could be your phone, etc.
2) The hotel has an open atrium style center restaurant w/ no ceiling for six floors up. Most of the guest rooms are directly exposed to the atrium so the sound echos and travels all the way up. At 4am when they're setting the tables for breakfast, you can hear every "clink" of the silverware and dishes. HIGHLY ADVISE GETTING ROOMS AT END OF THE HALLWAYS WHICH ARE NOT EXPOSED TO THE ATRIUM
-- Got violently sick from what I'm guessing was a dirty glass at the bar & food prep was suspect as the fresh fruit often tasted like onions or whatever else they had just cut
