You get what you pay for and this is a fantastic deal. Clean, full kitchen with a standard refrigerator instead of a mini that holds absolutely nothing. The staff is... More

If you want to stay at the Taj-Mahal, this probably isn't the place for you...fortunately, I do not. We stayed in a 2nd floor non-smoking room, could smell smoke in the room, but we took in mind that this is a very old hotel and probably all the rooms were smoked in at one time. Our room was very clean,... More
