Hotel Review of Willow Banks Hotel
Comments: The overall experience was ok. The room was good.
Best Experience: Cannot remember any.
Worst Experience: 1) The room boys used the check the room with very fishy eyes whenever we used to ask for room service.
2) After I checked out of the hotel, remember I paid 8400 bucks for a 2 night stay, a room boy comes running after me asking if I had taken a blanket with me from my room. He said I had asked for an extra blanket last night when I had not requested one. Remember this happened on the road with people hearing the conversation.
3) Website shows parking space available. This is not true. I paid 50 bucks daily to park my vehicle at a different parking place. Cars cannot reach the hotel.
4) Had to pay another 80 bucks to get my luggage carried to the hotel and back to the car as the hotel is far away from the parking place.
5) Website shows bath tubs in every room. But am sorry to say you cannot take a tub bath as water is very precious in Shimla. You can just see the bath tub.
