So I decided to “stay” on this great StayVista property, booked through MMT at a 30% premium—because apparently, convenience comes at a price. Little did I know, if I had just booked directly with the hotel, I could’ve saved that extra money and avoided this adventure.
Everything was fine until midnight—because of course, that’s the perfect time for a surprise. Some wealthy, very “festive” Gujju kids decided to celebrate Diwali-meets-New-Year right in the middle of everyone’s sleep. For the next 45 minutes, it felt like the city had moved into this one property—fireworks galore, screams included. The caretaker tried to calm them down, but clearly, discipline is not part of the festive spirit.
So here’s a pro-tip for my favourite travel booking site (Mmt) : maybe double-check the properties you list. Just saying—this one apparently has a 1.8 Google rating, so I guess I should’ve read the reviews… or maybe I just enjoy free fireworks at midnight.
