Never booking again!
My stay was terrible, the towels were old and dirty looking. The TV remote wasnt working and when i asked for a battery replacement, they brought old used dead batteries to replaced the dead batteries in the remote. The breakfast is nothing to write home about. I left mid breakfast and went to Radisson to have a proper breakfast. They had contractors fixing blinds at the entrance and there was no health and safety precautions in place. They were literally telling people to walk under the scaffolding.
I am sticking to Radisson or Sarovar. If you are there on the weekends, its absolutely a crowded arena for every tom, dick and harry. Never going back there.
