Cleanliness, basic amenities, late night noise, open ventilation (privacy disturbed), small insects, dirty cushions cover, dirty chair cushions, paintless doors etc. In short - trying to cover old property.

Wonderful place to stay.. Beautiful location with the Ganga Ji view.
The reception staff should smile a little bit while serving the guests so the guests are comfortable as they are paying for a better service.
