Thanks AshleyF for your review. I know what you are saying about the area -- when I was at the hotel in April they had not finished paving the whole thing. It looked nice at the time although there was still much construction going on. I don't understand the concept of opening up a property with only limited rooms/restaurants/recreation facilities and then still not having everything complete 6 months later. As far as locating the hotel, my driver got lost trying to get to it. Note to everyone --- if you are not using the Hotel's transporation optin (hertz or avis cars/drivers) have a printout with where this place is located. I second the fact that the hotel has a view only of the slums...but concidering that 30% of mumbai's population lives in those conditions -- no big surprise.

Thanks Again.
