The hotel is beautifully situated at the foothills of the Himalayas, which provides a stunning view. The rooms are spacious, although the mattress could use an upgrade for better comfort. The dining experience was delightful, with fresh offerings, but the service from staff left something to be desired in terms of enthusiasm. Overall, it’s a good value, but don’t expect extraordinary service.

The hotel is located in beautiful parklands, providing a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush woodlands. The room I stayed in had a massive bed that was incredibly comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep. However, the decor could use some updating to enhance the ambiance. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were always willing to help. Dining options were decent, but the buffet felt a bit disorganized at times. Overall, it’s a nice place but not without its quirks.

I had a pleasant stay overall; the hotel is located near a beautiful golf course and is surrounded by nature, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the service could use a bit more polish and enthusiasm. My room had a nice view, although cleanliness wasn’t quite up to par. The dining experience was reasonable, but there were times when the food options ran low. The value for money is decent, but there's room for improvement in a few areas.
