the room was a letdown it felt overpriced for what it offered. the filtered water in the room had an unpleasant smell i found that quite off-putting. i also noticed a lot of outside noise seeping into the room , made it difficult to relax fully the staff seemed stretched thin due to the large number of tour groups and personalized service was lacking it felt more like a factory customer service.

The front desk manager, chacko, greeted me warmly upon arrival. This.

The breakfast buffet lacked excellent options. It was quite basic, and nothing stood out (i expected more). i also noticed a foul odor in the bathroom, likely stemming from the drain. It was quite off-putting.
