The property owner was dishonest and greedy. Before booking, I called to confirm if early check-in was possible, and he agreed. However, when I arrived, he refused and made me wait from 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM. At 9:00 AM, a guest checked out, and I requested to use that room just to shower, but he insisted on charging extra.
He clearly dislikes bookings made through MakeMyTrip, as he charges more than the listed price. When I asked about another room option, he quoted rates comparable to 3- or 5-star hotels (around ₹3000), despite the property not being worth even ₹1000 based on the poor service.
