generous buffet fresh masala clean gym welcome drinks interrupted check-in missed service
the breakfast buffet had a generous selection. i was charmed by the fresh chai masala prepared daily. the gym was impeccably clean and the equipment was excellent (they had everything i needed).
i did not receive welcome drinks upon arrival. the check-in process was interrupted by a telephone call unrelated to my check-in. the room was not serviced even after i returned after 3 pm on one of the days.

broken shower door clogged basin
the bathroom shower door did not close properly. the basin was also clogged and drained very slowly. i reported these issues on the first day, though no one ever came to fix them , quite frustrating and inconvenient. it made using the bathroom less enjoyable than it should have been at a hotel of this caliber.
