This is an older, recycled facility, probably a former chain hotel built in the 1960's or 70's with the typical 2-story, outside entry configuration. Due to several prior negative experiences, we try to avoid facilities owned and operated by people originating from the Asian subcontinent bordering the Bengal Sea. Often, they cut too many "corners," and don't seem to concern themselves with cleanliness and guest comfort. Often, the reviews will signal the ownership, or we'll call ahead. English spoken with a distinct accent usually provide enough clues.
Our efforts don't vary, so we were somewhat surprised to encounter the aroma of curry upon arrival. Of course, this was past the date and time for cancelation without penalty, so we "hunkered down," waiting for the nearly inevitable "other shoe" to drop.
As we settled in, we noticed the usual decaying concrete on the stairway leading to our room on the second story, and that the pool was "closed for the season" due to hundreds of boxes and othe items stored under what we interpreted as a pool house at the end, the gate securely locked. We don't know what that was all about..., but somewhat unsightly in our opinion.
There was a problem with the credit card reader at check-in, so we were asked to return later. No matter. It's incumbant upon them to collect the room fee. We set aboit organizing our stay, unloading a fair amount ot luggage and other items for our upcoming business, the purpose of our stay. There was no elevator.
