Good location

Location was suitable for my purpose of U.S Visa interview. The transportation arrangements were proper. Had some difficulty getting the room on arrival as it was morning time even though they already had the information about the time of arrival. This was sorted out soon. The condition of the room leaves a lot to be desired. The faucet was leaking all over the bathroom. Room service was good. Overall, good hotel.

Hotel IRIS

I reached the hotel early morning and inspite of informing the day before i will reach early i was made to wait for 45 minutes. Next problem was with the WIFI which was not working but the IT staff was so fast and helped to browse the net with the LAN which saved my day. Generally the service is so poor, just to get a bottle of water i had to call 3-4 times and i got it after 45 min and so is the room cleaning which took like 2 calls to get them to the clean the room.
