Our flight was delayed for almost 10 hours and informed the hotel through email as no one was picking up the phone and the next day I received an answer from the manager and there response " staff are sleeping it's middle of the night". Very rude. When we arrived around 4:00 am the reception was dark and someone was sleeping at the couch and someone woke him up from outside who had seen us and went to wake up the manager who was sleeping as well. After checking in they took us to our 2 rooms. The corridor was so hot and humid. As soon as we opened the room it was so unbearable heat and humid too. One AC was not working and they transferred us to another room. My daughter and her son couldn't take a shower as the bathroom was so disgusting, Sink was crack, mirror have stained but managed to stay for a day. it was so uncomfortable in any ways. No basic facilities. The beds were so noisy every time you moved. The rooms were so dark no night lamp, and the worst part no wall electrical outlets. They have only one outlet behind the TV which is not also universal. Finally we managed to charged our phone outside the hotel and checked out in the evening to stay in another hotel which is way beyond beautiful and very comfortable in every aspect. With all this unforgettable experience and not got any refund there's no way anyone will come around near to this hotel. I doubt even locals will never recommend. This property needs full upgrade

The front & lobby of the hotel looks appealing, however inside is a different story. The room was dark and not cleaned properly. Only 1 lift was working and very small. Reception staff no form of welcoming guests or smiling. The hotel needs to keep up with maintenance and revamp the place up.
