Gautala Wildlife Sanctuary Vacation Packages

I booked this property based on all the rave reviews and I shudder to think what a property without rave reviews would look like in Aurangabad. The white linens were dirty and I had to request they be changed (after night one, unfortunately). The bathrooms were OK. The shower was clunky and sprayed water everywhere. Hotel soap, shampoo etc. were merely OK. The safe wasn't secured to anything, so anyone could have just lifted your passport and valuables with the whole safe from the room--so, I did not use the safe. Very inconvenient. Fairly constant smell of cigarette smoke in the rooms (someone smoking in the rooms?). The food is very overpriced and merely OK. However, the service is very responsive and they seem to care about this. The staff gave us four bottles of water a day, and this is very good. The fridge was dirty and I barely used it. The AC worked well. With the fan, it was a cool room for sure and I appreciated it after long hot/humid days exploring the caves in Ajanta and Ellora. Decent WiFi access is available in the hotel rooms. For the price, this hotel needs to be better--especially on the cleanliness scale. And this hotel is NOT anywhere close to a 3-star hotel (think La Quinta or Red Roof Inn, not Sheraton or Hilton or Westin), never mind the 4 or 4.5 star that it advertises itself to be.
