Stay was okay. Some basic requirements they need to improve for customer’s comfort.
Pros:

Price and the location was good and there were multiple options of restaurants and cafe in the vicinity

Cons:

There were construction activities adjacent to the hotel which started at 7 in the morning. And one couldn’t sleep due to those loud sounds and also there were no staff to carry the luggage to the rooms. They use to ring the bell at 6:30 AM I don’t know for what purpose.
The shower was not working. Also the restaurants were not fully operational due to LPG shortage.

Pros:

In terms of location, it is in one of the city's prominent areas, so it was easy to reach. Overall experience was good.

Cons:

I gave my car to the valet for parking it inside the hotel premises. Although it is not the valet's fault, when I took my car the next day, it was covered in dust, and there was bird poop all over my car. If some facility can be provided where a basic car wash service is offered, that will add to the overall stay experience.
