Mr Mehta, who built this hotel forty years back, attributes its success to his staff that is highly dedicated and efficient and to his son, who is an epitome of professionalism. His son, whose reputation for being an excellent manager is widespread, looks after the hotel arrangements himself now. The guests whom he treats like his family members, speak volumes of his hospitality. Amit Ghosh, who once stayed in this hotel, calls it the next best place to home.
