Wonderful stay at heritage hotel

convenient accesshelpful staffunreliable network
I enjoyed the complimentary shuttle. It provided convenient access to the neighboring Horizon hotel (this hotel is modern). I found the staff to be attentive and helpful. They addressed minor issues quickly and efficiently. The lobby bar offered happy hour and live music.
The Airtel mobile network was unreliable. This made WiFi calling difficult. Guest services did not rectify the issue.
