Location of the Carlton is excellent, just overlooking the Lake.
The package included Bed, Breakfast and Dinner which was worth the value for money
Facilities included were the club house having the games - mostly complimentary excepting Billiards, air hockey
Cycles were provided to guest on complimentary basis
Everything is perfect - Location, Staff, Food, Club,
They can think of adding swimming pool to the property
Earlier, they used to have their own boats for boating in the lake, can think of restarting the same

Stayed here for 2 nights this month (Oct 2022). It's located next to the lake and offers breathtaking views.
Perfect for those who prefer calm and relaxing experiences with luxury.
It also maintains good hygiene standards. The property offers ample parking space.
Overall, the hygiene standard is good.
What could be better?
The only thing which I noticed was the restaurant table top, which had stains of food. Would recommend changing the tabletop dressings the moment someone has used it. No one wants to stare at the curry stains while eating.

The staff were friendly.
we were staying at the first floor which was next to a reception hall. On our second night there was a party on till around midnight with blasting music, which made it difficult for us to sleep. The hotel might want to consider either not having rooms next to a party hall or might want to allot these rooms to the members of the party group so as not to cause disturbance to other guests.

Unable to find appropriate staff at the club house and lack of staff to support the club house

An amazing location with a view of the lake
Absolutely fabulous staff - very polite, very friendly
A great breakfast and dinner selection, excellent food
The shared spaces were comfortable
Perfect massages on offer (the foot massage was really great)
Three main problems:
- the wi-fi connection was unreliable, weak and with frequent outages. If you want to have an online business meeting or watch a movie online, think twice.
- the room was noisy: kids often shouting in the long empty corridor in front of the room, workers banging etc. from quite early in the morning
- I had a very negative experience using the hotel's travel agent. Their taxi left me halfway to my destination, I had to walk alone in the rain in the forest, totally lost. It took a day of heavy complaining after I finally got the payment back. Beware!
