I spent a couple of nights in DC during recent times at Marriott Hotels. While these places hardly warrant a full review, they are still worth a mention and are certainly cheap and decent choices for a stay in the nation’s capital. The first of the hotels is the AC …
During a recent trip to India, I got to stay at the awe inspiring Umaid Bhavan Palace in Jodhpur. The palace is one of the largest private residences in the world and was built between 1928 and 1943. It’s a magnificent blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles, showcasing the …
Background: My place of residence in Hyderabad (during visits) has been the Westin Mindspace (find my review here) for the past 6 years or so. I’ve never really ventured out to try new hotels because this hotel is by far the closest one to my aunt’s apartment and I didn’t …
