The Unvarnished Truth: My [Hotel Name - If you can even provide it] Experience

Alright, so I went to this place, the [Hotel Name - If you can even provide it], and let me tell you, it was… an experience. Preparing this review feels like reliving a fever dream, so bear with me if things get a little… rambly.

Accessibility: Bless Their Hearts (and Give Them a Good Grade!)

Okay, first things first: accessibility. This is HUGE for me, and I really appreciate it. The website said they catered to people with disabilities so I had to check! Let's break it down:

Wheelchair Accessible?: Yes, mostly. The lobby was great, wide open spaces! Elevators were a-okay. Crucial for me since I brought a cane, but it's not the easiest to maneuver into elevators, so I was grateful that the elevator was large enough.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Thankfully yes, I was able to get around in the restaurants with my cane. The spacing was good, so I didn't have to worry about getting blocked or tripping over things.
Facilities for Disabled Guests: The room had some good features, although, there were some points where it did feel like they were a little bit behind with the times.

Internet (Oh, the Blessings of Connectivity!)

Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: This is a MUST in today's world. Seriously, if a hotel skimps on Wi-Fi, it's a deal-breaker. The Wi-Fi was actually usable. I mean, I could almost stream Netflix without rage-quitting which is a feat in itself.
Internet Access – LAN: Alright, LAN internet, for those who still like wired connections (you dinosaurs, you!). There might be this, but I didn't give it a shot since the Wi-Fi was pretty good.
Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Yes! No dead zones. I could actually sit in the lobby and work without wanting to throw my laptop across the room.

Things to Do (and How to Relax… Or Not!)

Spa: Okay, the spa was the reason I booked this place. Listed things like body scrub, body wrap, sauna, steamroom, spa/sauna, foot bath, it was all there! The massages were amazing. I can’t even put into words how good the massage was. The facilities themselves were gorgeous. Seriously dreamy.
Fitness Center/Gym: I was a little scared to use the gym, but I did manage to get myself to the gym. There was a fitness center, which was well-equipped. The gym was okay, nothing special, and definitely not the highlight of the experience.
Pool: The pool with a view was stunning. I spent a good portion of my time just staring out at the view, and swimming in the pool.
Things to do: Let's be honest, as listed, this category is quite vague, but really does make it easier to plan your trip.

Cleanliness and Safety (COVID-19 and All That Jazz)

Anti-viral cleaning products: Yes, this they did use.
Breakfast Takeaway Service: Because of COVID, breakfast was brought to your room. This was actually a really nice touch, and I enjoyed it.
Cashless Payment Service: A definite plus! Contactless payments are the future. Easier and safer!
Daily Disinfection in Common Areas: Seemed like it. I didn't see anyone actually doing it, but I felt safe.

Hand Sanitizer: Everywhere!
Hot Water Linen and Laundry Washing: Excellent. Important for peace of mind.
Hygiene Certification: There was one, which I did check.
Individually-Wrapped Food Options: Yes, and a lot less wasteful, I'll admit.

Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment: The staff seemed very aware, and I felt like they were doing everything they could.
Shared stationery removed: No shared pens! Thank goodness.
Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: I'm choosing to believe they were diligent.

Restaurants: There were several restaurants on-site. A couple of them were pretty good!
Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant: The Asian breakfast was delicious!
Bar, Poolside bar, Happy hour: Perfect for unwinding.
Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Salad in restaurant: It had it all!
Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service: The breakfast situation was… interesting. The buffet was closed, but the option they provided in the breakfast service was really good!
Room service [24-hour, Bottle of water]: Always appreciate 24-hour room service.

Itsy Hotels Neeranand Plaza Kolkata IndiaOkay, buckle up buttercup, because we're diving headfirst into FAQs... with a *very* human twist. Forget the polished, robotic answers. We're getting real. Here's my best shot at a FAQ, with all the mess, the opinion, and the glorious imperfection that comes with being alive. ***

So, like, what is all this about anyway? What are we even talking about?

Alright, alright, settle down! "All this" is basically a chaotic collection of thoughts, feelings, and experiences – hopefully the good ones – all bundled into a slightly dishevelled FAQ. Think of it like a poorly organized digital scrapbook, but with more swearing (maybe). Or less, depends on the mood! We're aiming for realness, right? No whitewashing; just the beautiful, messy truth of... well, *something*. Let's call it "Life," for now. Or maybe "The Stuff That Keeps Me Awake at 3 AM." Yeah, that's more accurate.

Why are you doing this? Is this some kind of... purpose-driven thing?

Purpose? Oh, honey, if I had a purpose more profound than "avoiding folding laundry," I’d probably be a saint. Let's be clear: this isn't some grand philosophical undertaking. I just felt like it. Maybe I wanted to see if I could. Maybe I was bored. Maybe I needed something to distract myself from the existential dread of realizing how much of my life is currently spent wondering if my sourdough starter is alive. (It's probably not, to be honest. I've been neglecting it.) I’m honestly just hoping to entertain myself a little, and if it entertains anyone else, bonus! Honestly? Most things I do end up being a test to see whether I can do it, and whether or not someone else will enjoy me doing it. A lot of the time the answer is no, but I’m just going to keep doing it anyway, because honestly, it's more fun than doing laundry.

Okay, so, like, what's your worst experience? The one that really sticks with you? Spill the tea!

Oh, *boy*, where do I even start? I have a rich tapestry of cringeworthy moments and spectacular failures to draw from. If I had to pick just one... (Deep breath.) Okay, so picture this: High school, prom night, the culmination of *everything*. I spent *weeks* agonizing over a dress, a date... everything. I'd meticulously planned every detail in my head. It was going to be *perfect*. I put on so much eyeliner I could have killed a crow. I thought I looked like a goddess. Then, disaster. The band, oh the band! They were playing a slow dance, the lights were all romantic and purple, and I’m with my date, the one I had been pining over for months. At the time, in my mind, it was the most important dance of my life. I can feel the emotions rising up, the pounding music, the awkward swaying. I'm trying really hard to look cool, to pull away a little so I don't look like I'm trying too hard. I'm feeling slightly nauseous. I lean into the music.

Then I look down and I see the strap of my dress, hanging loose. I was mortified. I couldn't look anyone in the eye. I just kind of... ran. I disappeared into the bathroom and, well, let's just say I didn't exactly emerge looking 'goddess-like.' It was so bad, my date didn't even try and find me. And the rest of the prom was lost in a swirling haze of humiliation and cheap punch. The picture they took of me that night? It's permanently banished to the darkest corners of the internet, and for good reason. Seriously, the horror... Even thinking about it now makes my stomach clench.

What's the best thing that's ever happened to you?

Okay, okay, let's pivot to the *good* stuff, shall we? Because even after the wardrobe malfunctions and public humiliations, a few amazing things have actually happened. Honestly, the "best" is tough to define, life doesn’t really work like that. But, one thing always pops into my head first: my first ever solo trip. It was to Italy! When I was 23, I'd saved up for months, and I spent three glorious weeks wandering around Florence, Rome, Venice... I had no plan, no itinerary, just a backpack, a phrasebook, and a ridiculously oversized pair of sunglasses. I remember one particular moment, sitting on a tiny bridge in Venice, eating gelato that dripped all over my hands (classic me). The sun was setting, painting the canals in gold, and I felt this incredible sense of freedom. Of peace. Of complete and utter contentment. I was totally alone but not lonely. I felt truly alive. That trip changed me. It taught me that I could handle anything, that the world was a beautiful, messy, unpredictable place, and that sometimes, all you need is a good cone of gelato and a beautiful sunset.

Do you have any regrets? Because, let's be honest, everyone does.

Regrets? Oh, honey, I'm practically swimming in them. Seriously, I could build a whole dam out of regrets. But, I try not to dwell on them too much. What's done is done, right? But sure, there are a few that pop into my head every now and then. Little things, mostly. Like that time I dyed my hair bright pink and had to go back to work the next day. Or the guy I should have just walked away from. Or not taking that pottery class when I was still in high school! But you know it’s usually things I didn’t do. Not taking enough chances. Being too afraid. But, and here's the slightly-less-cliched part, I’m slowly, painfully, learning to turn those regrets into lessons. And to not dye my hair *anything* too drastic ever again.

Okay, but what about the real deep stuff? What's your biggest fear?

Alright, alright, let's get to the feels. My biggest fear? That’s easy. It's not spiders (though, *shudder*). It's not heights (unless they're also combined with spiders). It's not even clowns (they're creepy, but pretty low on the list). My biggest fear is... losing the people I love. It’s so ridiculously cliché, I know. The thought of life without my family or my friends... it just *terrifies* me. I'm not usually one for grand declarations, but the thought of them suffering, pain and loss, or disappearing from my life... It’s the sort of thing that makes my heart physically ache. So yeah, that's it, the big one. Now, excuse me while I go call my mom and tell her I love her (again).
