Independent - accommodation in Miraj

I have stayed at Sayaji Indore, Sayaji Kolhapur, have dined at Sayaji Pune, and each of this was a very satisfactory experience. Therefore, I booked Effotel Sayaji in Sangali expecting it to be equally good. But it turned out to be exactly the opposite. The checkout time is 10:00 and we reached the hotel at 1900. Even if the room meant for us was occupied the previous night, they had 9 hours to get it ready for us. Yet, the room wasn't ready when we reached, and we had to wait. We had booked and paid for 3 occupants. In all good hotels our experience is they bring a folding bed for the 3rd occupant. No such thing here. A mattress on the floor. Despite having booked for 3 occupants, the room had towels, coffee mugs, only for two. (and a toothbrush only for one !) We had to ask for utilities for the third person. After several reminders a towel was given, but not the coffee mug. Having dinner in the 13th floor restaurant, there was a power failure. The generator took almost 10 minutes to start. Apart from darkness, the hall became very hot and stuffy. On top of that they levied a 5% Service Charge in a Buffet !! As for internet, I tried to pay for the dinner using my card. But the card-swipe machine did not work in the restaurant; didn't work in my room either. Finally, at the reception it wroked, but only when it was taken near the main door. On the whole a very disapointing experience from Sayaji. I would not stay at this Sayaji ever again.

Clean room. Friendly staff. Very good hotel

Although the rooms were clean and the staff very friendly, the depiction of the room with balcony was not accurate.
