My partner and I stayed in 14 hotels in India the past month. This place is #14 out of 14. In addition I have stayed in my Best Western properties in various countries. This is the worst.
We checked in around 10 p.m. Our room was unkempt. Old sheets, towels,etc. I realized I didn't want to walk barefoot on the floor ... obvious spots and stains from spills, sand, long black hairs, etc. Housekeeping came promptly and swept up a half-full dustpan of debris and mopped the floor. We tried to put the two twin beds together, but quickly gave up when we saw what was underneath the beds.
Breakfast offered little for a western diet ... juice, the corn flakes I would never eat at home, and warm bread (warmed--not toasted) with the basic omlette special order.
About the last thing I'm interested in doing on vacation is talking with a hotel manager about problems. I want a vacation from problems. We explained our issues to the manager the following morning. He was polite and seemed shocked by our issues and couldn't believe them. I told him that he only needed to look under the beds and look at the shower floor (the drain was plugged and no water drained). He feigned a language problem with English; the real problem is that my partner understands and speaks his language perfectly.
Best Western is advertising that it has three classes of properties. This place is at the bottom of the lowest class and does not represent Best Western to me. If you're looking for a reasonably priced place near Central Station don't look here. (As info Central Station does not Host most ONG distance trains).
