I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is great, being just off the Mumbai-Pune expressway, and the separate room for the TV and sofa was a nice touch, the room itself left much to be desired with its unpleasant smell and lack of basic amenities. Service was a bit of a rollercoaster too, with some staff being helpful, while others were less accommodating. Overall, it wasn't the most ideal stay.

During my stay, I found the hotel to be quite spacious and easy to locate right on the main road. However, the lack of basic amenities like a stirrer for drinks and an ironing board was disappointing. Also, check-in took a while, with rooms not being ready until around 3:30 PM. While the service was a mixed bag, with helpful staff, some interactions felt a bit rude, especially regarding the pool rules. Overall, the experience had its pros and cons, so I might reconsider for my next stay.
