I had a perfect stay at this hotel, which is nestled in a beautiful location. The views from my room were simply breathtaking, giving me a feeling of being in heaven among the clouds. The service was exceptional, especially from Mr. Amit Bhatia, who made my experience unforgettable. However, there were a couple of minor issues with the dining, as some orders didn't meet my expectations.

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The food was bad, and the staff was uncooperative, leading to a very unpleasant stay. In contrast, another hotel I stayed at offered a comfortable environment with clean rooms, excellent room service, and a fantastic rooftop restaurant. While one place was chaotic and unwelcoming, the other was a true delight with serene views and great amenities.
