The direct walk in rates are way too high as compared with the service and the facilities provided by this property. The lift is too small. One should not expect a bell boy to escort you toward ur room while check in. The room size was good but not upto the mark. The bathroom is small even in the premium room. They have only hand cum overhead shower which was also not in good condition. The worst part was their room service which shuts by 10:30pm. I checked in at 10pm, called room service for ordering food at 10:38 pm and they refused me saying the kitchen is closed. They asked me to order from swiggy or Zomato. This kind of service can be expected from a 2 star or a lodge type of hotels. All the above really proves how much they care for their guests. I would never ever stay at the this property again. There are lot ***y better options around and this property can be avoided.

stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed my stay here. Their breakfast quality and services are top class. Service staff was very attentive and offered various dishes which were not part of the buffet but were served freshly made and offered. Room and bathroom was cleaned, all amenities were provided. Will surely come and stay here again. Location was fantastic, very close to Alkapuri / office.

This hotel is located in one of the inner roads of Alkapuri in Vadodara. I stayed for 1 night on business trip. Checkin-checkout was convenient. I stayed on MAP plan (breakfast and dinner free ***** with room). Both breakfast and dinner had sumptuous spread with lot of items. Food was tasty and service was good. Hotel has a very small pool too. Tip- room nose 205, 305 are bigger in size compared to normal rooms.
