Ramesh

Disliked: Amenities
Their phone doesn’t work. We couldn’t communicate with them before arrival because we were arriving internationally. They have a working phone number written on the main door only after you arrive at the property. We also emailed them but no response. We reserved the hotel with parking but were forced to park on the street that required to move the car by 8am.
