Obviously this was not the experience mentioned previously, but I know on other threads there have been comments about the soft product at Mandapa.
Sorry if this was rambling, my mind is still adjusting to the time zone.
Shocking that Mainland tour groups stay at Mandapa. You would think the daily rate would keep it at a certain luxury level. When we were there, they were well-off individual travelers (mainly couples) from that country.
