i appreciated the care sanjay rana took with my allergy (i have some tricky dietary needs). he made sure my indian dishes were safe for me. i could then enjoy the tasting menu with my husband. the food was tasty, and i could try a variety of dishes.
the gym was smaller than i expected. it had limited equipment, including only two treadmills. the spa treatments were quite expensive. also, the hotel's location made it difficult to walk to nearby attractions.
