striking colors plentiful amenities divine food
The architecture included striking colors. The staff showed kindness upon arrival. Shalu at the concierge explained everything precisely. The room was huge. Amenities were plentiful. The hotel staff was always helpful. The food served was divine. I would love to come back myself.
The music played by the pool was loud especially in the evenings as the noise goes straight into the rooms. The coffee shop and bar also had loud music, so there was no escape. The pool is small with little shade.

underwhelming stay for the price
sewer smell limited mocktail
I anticipated a more luxurious experience. the breakfast buffet had a basic selection of indian and western items, but nothing stood out. our room's bathroom had a noticeable sewer smell, though staff offered a room change. the shower knob was broken, so i repaired it myself rather than wait for assistance. the lack of cocktail options by the pool was disappointing. The blender was broken, limiting mocktail choices. overall, my stay was underwhelming compared to other hotels i visited in south india.

Acceptable Stay
historic heritage extra night high price outside commotion
The hotel had a historic heritage. This. The team showed care to the guests. The online guest reservation team suggested an extra night reservation to guarantee early check in.
The hotel itself was good, but overpriced. The hotel was missing warmth. There was a ton of outside commotion in the room. a little white noise on phone made it okay to sleep.
