Below is my experience based on a one-night stay at the property.

My arrival experience: Fast check-in before being escorted to the room.
What about the food: Great Indian vegetarian food at their Indian restaurant, Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor. Certainly some of the better Indian food I've had in my travels. The only thing I didn't like was the Indian ice cream.
What about the service: Friendly service in all areas of the hotel. No issues. The staff at Signature by Sanjeev are especially great.
What about the rooms: Beautiful rooms with comfortable beds, flat screen TVs, freestanding bathtubs and rain showers.
Number of rooms: 164.
