When the taxi drivers start asking for more money to drop you to your hotel, you don't get the best of feelings, especially when Google tells you the hotel is just about 2 kilometers away. Well, it is on top of a hill and that was the only time we paid the taxi guys. All other times, it was a pleasure to trek up and down the hill to reach the main Road. The view that the hotel provides of the mountains and of the Kohima township is breathtaking and compensates a lot for whatever is missing from the hotel. Having said that, that there was no running water on for us on the day of the check-out was quite unacceptable. No hot water therefore on the day we were checking out. The hotel had only minimal staff working as it was the new year weekend. But the ones who had stayed back were extremely helpful. The housekeeping and kitchen staff were around whenever needed, the administrative and reception staff on most occasions missing from their desks. The room was spacious, was provided with a much needed heater, and the offered room service. Helpful in all respects thereby. The aloo parathas were delicious and were always delivered hot. Kudos, to Kudata, the housekeeping staff who was around and his kitchen friends. Over all, a wonderful experience.
