I recently stayed at The First Halt Xpress Hotel in Badrinath, and my experience was mixed. Here’s my detailed feedback: What was good: 1.	Polite Staff: The staff was courteous and attentive, which added a positive touch to the stay. 2.	Manageable Environment: While the presence of rats was noticeable, it didn’t cause significant issues for me. However, measures should be taken to restrict their access to guest rooms for improved comfort. Areas for Improvement: 1.	Room Size: The rooms were quite small, which felt restrictive for the price charged. 2.	Food Quality: The food quality was comparable to a hostel mess, which was disappointing. Improving the taste, variety, and freshness of the food would make a huge difference. 3.	Value for Money: The overall cost of the stay felt high compared to the amenities and services provided. Lowering the price slightly or enhancing the quality of the offerings would balance the experience. 4.	Beverage Facilities: These were limited and didn’t justify the cost. Providing better beverage options would be a welcome improvement. Suggestions for Improvement: •	Enhance food quality and provide a better dining experience, as it is a key factor for travelers. •	Implement measures to prevent rats from entering guest areas, especially rooms, to improve hygiene and comfort. •	Consider reducing prices or adding more value to the services and amenities to justify the cost. Overall, while the staff’s behavior was commendable, the stay did not meet my expectations in terms of value and service quality. I hope the management takes this feedback into consideration to improve future experiences for guests. Feel free to make further edits!
