Really good Lakeside Stay

prime locationpeaceful roomcomplimentary boat ridemissing instructions
I enjoyed the prime location on vembanad lake. It has a heavenly view. my executive tower-block room on the top floor was peaceful. it had all the needed requirements for a relaxed stay. the high teas in the evening by the lake were good, and i found the complimentary boat ride pleasant.
the tv in my room lacked operational instructions, i found that inconvenient. it had two remotes and no indication of which one to use. the tv was not connected to the power socket, difficult.
