I booked a room at Sinclairs Retreat Kalimpong for June 10–12, assuming it included AC, as it is 3 stared hotel and the temperature is around 32 degrees in kalimpong . On arrival, we were assigned a non-AC room—with only a fan.i was surprised to see a three stared hotel with non AC room.and there was no mention that the rooms are non air-conditioned. when we complained about our discomfort they shifted us to the ac room after too much arguments.This unexpected discomfort left us frustrated and uneasy.
Sinclairs is indeed a beautiful property—with great views, clean rooms, and friendly staff—but this lack of transparency regarding AC availability and pricing significantly took away from our experience. I urge the management to clearly specify which room types include AC, and to communicate upgrade fees upfront to avoid misleading future guests. And also to put ac in each room as the temperature in summers are very high.
