I have stayed at many different hotels throughout the country, and, indeed, the world. This is, without question, the absolute WORST hotel I've ever experienced, and I will NEVER set foot in it again.
This used to be a nice, friendly place, with clean, comfortable rooms and a friendly staff. NO MORE. Now it's run by people who barely speak English and who act as though they were there by accident, not because they're actually employees.
Let's start with check-in. The manager on duty had no idea who I was, even though I had called only a few days before to make my reservation, and, in fact, had been contacted by the same manager "Raj" only the day before to confirm same. Then, when I paid him, in cash (no way they were getting my credit card info), he tried to short-change me, and somehow "forgot" how much I had given him initially.
Now for the first night. The toilet made a sound like a jet engine, that actually lasted for five full minutes. Not only that, but the toilet leaked, at its base; I had standing water in the bathroom. The thick deposit of rust around the toilet base clearly indicated that this was an on-going problem, and, obviously, had not been fixed.
When I brought this to the attention of the "manager", a young 20s type, he merely asked me if I wanted to change rooms. Well, of course I did! No word of apology, by the way, either.
My room was not cleaned when I returned; there were no signs to hang on the door.
Well, the replacement room was, if anything, even worse. The toilet made a ghastly sound, but, thankfully, it didn't leak. Once again, however, the room was not cleaned, and, when I asked the manager about it, he merely shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, you didn't ask for the room to be cleaned."
"Excuse me," I told him, "I left a notice on the doorhandle, asking for the room to be cleaned."
"Oh, that doesn't mean anything. You have to tell us when you check in that you want your room cleaned."
Are you kidding me?
The flimsy, pathetic excuse was that rooms are not cleaned because the hotel is afraid that the maid will steal things from the guests. Do you believe this rubbish?
Needless to say, the door notice was "stolen" the next morning, when I finally checked out.
The tv set & phone were so old that my mobile would actually turn them on, just by setting it down on the table. The lighting is horrendous, and the room decor is at least 20 years old, and in tatters.
The hotel advertises free wi-fi, but it is impossible to connect to their network; it's simply not available.
The electrical wiring in the guest rooms is minimal at best, and dangerously overloaded with multiple cords plugged in. I had to unplug the room heater, microwave and desk lamp just to charge my mobile. I didn't dare plug in the hair dryer.
The hotel owners, apparently, see nothing wrong with allowing feral cats bearing dead mice to roam the corridors at all hours of the day. This is absolutely disgusting, and, I'm sure, a significant healthcode violation.
The hotel owners also, apparently, see nothing wrong with allowing guests to stand immediately outside the front doors and smoke cigarettes, and to also leave their cigarette butts all over the front steps. What happened to the fifteen-foot rule?
