The actual checking in process was handled well however it could be a long wait during peak period ie school holidays, public... More

The counter and entrance of the hotel looks big & fantastic. It is always flooded with many travelers and tour groups at any time. We stayed at Tower 1, the room looks small with very basic amenities. There is no hanger in the shower room. No drinkable water available in the room, but the water dispenser is available near the...

Place is beautiful. Misty little bit during October as we stayed there during this time. The approach in ropeway ride takes around 20 mins and its fascinating. The hotel has everything in itself. Its like a small city indeed. The amusemente park makes great rides (if it does not rain heavily) even for adults,if you have children,you must go there.... More

The check in process is quite simply and effective if you know how to use the Check in Kiosk but it does not give option to select rooms.
