Overall I found this hotel to be adequate. As a lone traveler on business, it was convenient for me. The staff were friendly and helpful, including keeping universal plug adapters on hand.
The property itself is dated with a rather rustic elevator that left me preferring the stairs. The décor in the common areas conveyed the Indian influence combined with kind of a colonial feeling, which I enjoyed. It had sort of a 1950s movie feel to it.
The room I had would have been crowded for two people. The bed was OK. Some have complained that the beds are uncomfortable, but I didn't find it to be too bad. What is definitely missing in the room is power outlets. There are only a couple, and none directly bedside. The bathroom was small with a shower obviously made for smaller stature individuals. It served the function, but was somewhat limiting.
The room had a hair dryer, a closet (perfect for hanging clothes and getting things out of the way) a safe, a TV that I never used, a small table and a chair, and little else. The A/C was enough to keep the room cool, but never cold, which is how I tend to prefer a room. I wasn't in the room much during the day, but when I was the temperature did creep back up a bit. It was fine at night.
Breakfast is advertised as a buffet, but it's basically a boiled egg, potato fritters, some fruit, and toast. The lady serving was quiet but pleasant.
The neighbor was fun for the Indian feel and nearby restaurants were plentiful and enjoyable.
