    I liked the room, but it mentions mountain view but you can't see the mountain from the bedroom balcony it's bit mis leading

    The mountain view name of the room is bit mis leading

    Property response:

    Dear Ajaykumar, We appreciate your feedback and sincerely regret any confusion caused by the room description. The "Mountain View" label is intended to encapsulate the overall design and vibe of the room, inspired by the grandeur and serenity of mountains, rather than guaranteeing an actual mountain view from all parts of the room. We take your concern seriously and will work on making our room descriptions more clear in order to prevent any such misunderstandings in the future. Meanwhile, we do have other rooms with unobstructed mountain views which you may want to consider for your next visit. Your valuable input significantly aids our pursuit of continuous improvement and we appreciate your time in sharing your thoughts. Ramesh Gupta General Manager

    The staff was helpful and friendly. The location was nice with a beautiful view. The room size was good. Special mention to Adruja at the front desk, Hillary and Vinay at the restaurant, and Bruce at the pool.

    The upkeep of the property was not up to the mark. There was leakage in the commode, leading to a weird smell in the room. No action was taken after we informed housekeeping. There was water leakage in the corridoor, too, leading to an elderly family member slipping and falling. Some of their facilities, like the childrens play area, gym, spa, and game area, are in the basement and have a very musty smell. Breakfast options were limited, and live counter service was very slow. The pool filter was switched off, leading to blurry water. They are understaffed and are unable to handle things when the occupancy is high. No pick-up service from the railway station.

    Property response:

    Dear Amartya, We deeply appreciate your time in providing feedback about your recent stay with us. It makes us happy to hear that our personnel and facilities made your stay enjoyable and memorable. We'll ensure our team members such as Adruja, Hillary, Vinay, and Bruce are rewarded for their outstanding service. We, however, regret the inconvenience caused by the maintenance issues you encountered in your room and corridor. Immediate steps will be implemented to rectify these issues, and measures will be taken to ensure this doesn't recur. We apologize for the discomfort due to the musty smell in the basement facilities, we're currently working on improving the ventilation in these areas for a more pleasant experience. We noted your feedback about the limited breakfast options and slow service from the live counter. We will adjust our operations and staffing accordingly to ensure faster and wider food choices for our guests. As for thepool, we assure you stringent controls are in place for regular check and maintenance. Regrettably, we do not have a pick-up service from the railway station at the moment, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate your observations; feedback such as yours aids us in improving our services and operations. We truly value your patronage and look forward to the opportunity to serve you better in your future visits. Ramesh Gupta General Manager

    The staff was good and helpful and loved the food.

    The suite was not worth spending 15k per night, the kids play area not well designed for kids between the age of 6-12. Spa was average. And the location is little outside Lonavla.

    Property response:

    Dear Rahul, We appreciate your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay with us. It's great to hear that our staff could live up to your expectations and you were pleased with the food quality. We regret that the suite did not justify the value you were expecting. We continually strive to maintain a high standard of living, so your observation about the suite pricing holds great importance to us. In regard to the kids’ play area, we're taking your feedback seriously and are working on improving those facilities for the age group specified. We acknowledge your thoughts on our spa services. Please rest assured that we'll take the necessary steps to enhance the services we provide there. As for the location, we understand that our slightly secluded location might not be convenient for everyone but we believe it offers a tranquil retreat away from the bustling city life. That being said, we'll make sure to provide better transportation services in order to ensure seamless connectivity with Lonavla. Again, we appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to having another opportunity to serve you better. Ramesh Gupta General Manager
