Experience Regal Luxury: Treebo Lalaji's Aurangabad Executive Suite Awaits!
Experience Regal Luxury: Treebo Lalaji's Aurangabad Executive Suite Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because we’re about to dive headfirst into a hotel review that's less "perfect brochure" and more "chaotic diary entry." I'm gonna be brutally honest (with a dash of sarcasm), and hopefully, you'll get a real sense of what's actually like. Buckle up, buttercups!
Hotel Review: The Good, The Grumpy, and the Surprisingly Okay
Let's be real, wading through hotel reviews is like navigating a minefield of glossy photos and suspiciously vague promises. So, let’s cut the crap and break down this… experience. I'm not even sure what the freaking name is, so we're calling it "The Place" for now. Or maybe “That Place Where I…Went.” Alright, here we go, unedited and unfiltered…
(SEO/Metadata Snippet: Hotel Review, Accessibility, Luxury, Spa, Dining, Wi-Fi, [CITY NAME], Family-Friendly, Business Travel, COVID-19 Safety, Outdoor Pool, Fitness Center)
Accessibility: The Struggle is Real (and Sometimes Impressive)
Okay, right off the bat, let's talk accessibility. Because, honestly, it's a huge deal for some folks and, let's face it, can be a complete disaster in the travel world. "The Place"… well, they say they’re accessible. They’ve got "Facilities for disabled guests" and an elevator. That's the bare minimum, right? Wheelchair accessible portions? Okay, let’s be real, some parts appear to be alright. But the devil? Details. I saw some tight corners and potentially challenging thresholds. Make sure you CALL and confirm specifics before booking. This isn't a case of, "Oh, there's a ramp, everything's peachy!" which, unfortunately, describes a ton of places that claim accessibility. I saw some areas that seemed okay with possible room type issues. So, bonus points for trying and including an elevator, but double-check EVERYTHING. It is best to confirm the room, type, and area specifically before committing because I didn't see a clear and definitive statement on the site.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Did not see a specific mention of these. However, it is possible some restaurant areas are accessible so be sure to confirm that.
Internet: The Digital Dream (and Occasional Nightmare)
Alright, essential for any modern human (especially this one). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise the Wi-Fi gods! I'm not kidding, Wi-Fi that's actually functional can make or break a hotel stay. And here, it generally worked. Mostly. There were a few times where my streaming got a little… blurry, but hey, it beat the dial-up experience (shudders). Okay, some rooms included Internet [LAN]. I would have preferred to not have LAN on this trip, and I was glad there was Internet Access [Wireless] (yes, it's redundant – deal with it, it is a listing detail!) Internet services are offered. I did note that Wi-Fi in public areas existed, so if you have issues with your room, you should be able to at least get a decent signal in the lobby or areas.
Things to Do/ Ways to Relax: Spa-tacular (or Not?)
This is where things get interesting. They definitely lean into the "relax and rejuvenate" vibe.
- Body scrub, Body wrap: Yeah, those are there if that’s your jam. I'm more of a "give me a beer and a comfy chair" kind of gal, but hey, options are good.
- Fitness center: Ah yes, the guilt trip corner. I glanced in (mostly while avoiding eye contact), and it looked… decent. Machines, weights, the usual suspects. I don’t have a body fit for a gym, so I did not use it (and probably wouldn’t regardless).
- Foot bath: Intriguing. I love the idea of a foot bath.
- Gym/fitness: See above.
- Massage: Yes, please!
- Pool with view: This is what sold me. I’m a sucker for a nice view from a pool.
- Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: More relaxation options. All good.
The pool with a view? Okay, this is where the "good" part comes in. The pool did have a view. It was genuinely beautiful. The kind of view that makes you forget about the bills piling up back home. The kind where you just… breathe. It helps you actually relax and even just existing in the space. Perfection. I spent way too much time in that pool.
Cleanliness and Safety: COVID-Era Considerations
Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room – or rather, the microscopic monster that's been crashing everyone's vacations.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer: Good. Necessary. Expected.
- Hot water linen and laundry washing: Phew.
- Hygiene certification: Uhhh… hope they have it.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Sigh.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: I tried. Other guests… less so. It's a work in progress, folks.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment: All the right buzzwords. Hopefully, the staff followed through.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: That's nice.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Crosses fingers.
- Sterilizing equipment: Uh huh…
The Big Question: Did it FEEL safe? I'd say… Mostly. I saw the staff doing their best. However, you're also at the mercy of other guests. Wear a mask when you need to. Keep your distance. Wash your hands. Common sense.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food (Maybe?)
Okay, this is where things get dicey because food is a very personal experience.
A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: Basically, they've got a bit of everything. A buffet may be messy but it is an option.
Breakfast in room: Excellent, a fantastic addition.
Breakfast takeaway service: A good solution for safety concerns.
I had the breakfast buffet one morning. It was… fine. Standard hotel buffet fare. The coffee was decent, which is a win in my book. The restaurants looked appealing. The Poolside bar was essential to my happiness. Cocktails with a view? Yes, please! Room service was 24/7 and available.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things (that Matter)
Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center: A decent spread. Standard stuff.
Contactless check-in/out: Yeah, they’ve got that. Good.
Daily housekeeping: Score! My room was always clean and made up to my pleasure.
Elevator: Necessary. Bless the elevator.
Concierge: They were helpful, though their recommendations were a bit… predictable.
Convenience store: Always a lifesaver for those late-night snack cravings.
Laundry service: Never used it, but good to know it’s there.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly? (Maybe, Sort Of, Depends)
- Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: They claim to be family-friendly.
- Kids facilities: Not a ton of information.
- Babysitting: Good to have, if you need it.
I saw some kids, so… yeah, it's definitely possible to bring the little ones. But do your research on the
Uncover Hidden Luxury: Kinparo Toyooka - Japan's Best-Kept Secret Hotel
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sanitized brochure itinerary. This is real travel, the kind that leaves you smelling vaguely of curry and questioning all your life choices (in a good way, mostly). This is my planned assault on Aurangabad, India, with the Treebo Lalaji's Executive as my temporary HQ. Consider this less a schedule and more a… a loose suggestion with a healthy dose of chaos.
Aurangabad Adventure: Operation Chai-Time Tango
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Hotel Room Mystery (Maybe a Nap if I'm Lucky)
- Morning (aka Whenever the Heck My Flight Lands): Arrive at Aurangabad Airport (IXU). Already stressed. Airports just… they do things to me. Like make me want to eat all the available mini-Pretzels. Grab a pre-booked cab (smart move, me!). Pray it's not one of those death-trap taxis you see in the movies.
- Afternoon (ish): Check into Treebo Lalaji's Executive. Okay, initial impressions: Lobby looks… promising. Supposedly, good reviews. I'll need to verify. Praying the room smells fresh, not like a lingering cigarette smoke or stale air conditioning. Okay, so, uh, first impressions of the room? Clean, but… a strange metallic smell? Not sure if this is the air conditioning, the building's structure, or if something died in the room three weeks ago. I'm going to investigate. Okay, everything is… fine. A bit… basic. But fine. Let's unpack.
- Later Afternoon: Okay, I'm gonna collapse and go find some Chai. I heard the hotel's restaurant is alright, but I'm aiming to get out for lunch, I am. Finding decent, authentic chai is on my list. It’s a necessity! This day needs a jump-start. Maybe get one of those local SIM cards. Everyone says they're a pain to set up, but the internet’s going to be a must.
- Evening: Dinner. I'm thinking heading out, exploring the local market, finding a good restaurant with actual people in it, and not just tourists. Definitely will try something I can't pronounce. "Mutton Rogan Josh"? "Palak Paneer"? I'm game! Gotta conquer the spice! And probably order a whole bottle of water. Get lost in the process? Very likely. Embrace the unknown and the possibility of a delicious (or disastrous) meal!
Day 2: Ajanta Caves - Art, History, and the Sweat Lodge of Doom
- Early Morning (like, way before I want to be awake): Wake up. Curse the sun, the early alarm, and my inability to not hit snooze five hundred times. Need to get that chai pre-emptively. Figure out how to get to The Ajanta Caves (some travel company? A driver? Public transport? The options are truly endless).
- Morning: Embark on the Great Ajanta Caves Expedition. The caves are a UNESCO World Heritage site! I have to go. I heard they're spectacular and the bus to get there is likely to be a cultural experience in itself (hello, Bollywood music? Singing? Overpacked seats?). This is when you realize how much you sweat in India, and how quickly that sweat turns into a permanent dampness. Pack light clothing; I'll take a small towel. Lots of water. And maybe a fan. Yeah, I’m going to need a fan.
- Afternoon: Exploring the actual caves. The art, the history, the amazingness… I will get lost in the artwork and be completely awed by the creativity of those who lived here so long ago. Okay, don't forget to bring a camera. Taking photos. I will buy ALL the souvenirs. Then, probably, I'll think about the drive back and the sheer volume of people in India.
- Evening: Return to Aurangabad. Dinner. Maybe a celebratory beer? After the caves, I'll probably need a lot of liquids to stay alive. Find another restaurant. Somewhere off the beaten path, and maybe even where I can witness the locals' lives!
Day 3: Forts, Tombs, and the Quest for the Perfect Mango Lassi
- Morning: Visit Bibi Ka Maqbara. The Taj Mahal's “poor cousin.” I'm not expecting the Taj Mahal, but if it's remotely pretty, that'll cheer me up. Expect to be bombarded by selfie sticks and insistent guides. Pretend I'm not a tourist. Pretend I know what I'm doing.
- Lunch: The all-important Mango Lassi hunt commences. I will become a connoisseur. I will taste every lassi in Aurangabad until I find the golden nectar. I will post about every lassi in the style of a dedicated food blogger. I will become that tourist.
- Afternoon: Visit the Daulatabad Fort. Climb a real fort. Get dizzy. Probably get lost. Probably sweat buckets. Probably wish I'd brought more water. Definitely take pictures.
- Evening: Shopping! Some local spices, some beautiful fabric, and probably some gifts for people back home (if I haven't spent all my money on lassi). Dinner. Possibly another lassi.
Day 4: Last Day, Last Chai, and the Agony of Departure
- Morning: One last walk around the local market. Soak up the atmosphere. One last chai from that tiny little stand. Try to memorize the smells, the sounds, everything.
- Lunch: The final mango lassi of the trip. The best one. I am calling it. It needs to be glorious.
- Afternoon: Pack. Repack. Realize I bought way too much stuff. Curse my impulsive shopping habits. Get a taxi to the airport.
- Evening/Departure: Depart from Aurangabad. Reflect on the trip. Swear I'll never do this again. Already plan my next trip. The cycle begins anew.
Important Disclaimers/Ramblings:
- Unpredictability: This is just a suggestion. Expect everything to go wrong. Embrace it. That's the fun of it!
- Food: Be adventurous. Try everything. Probably get Delhi Belly. Worth it.
- Hotel: Treebo Lalaji's Executive? We'll see. Expectations are low, but I'm hoping for clean sheets and decent wifi.
- Transportation: I'm fully prepared to get lost, haggled, and generally confused. That's part of the experience.
- Emotions: Expect breakdowns, moments of pure joy, and a general sense of profound disorientation.
- The Chai: This is non-negotiable. Finding the perfect chai is my primary mission.
- Overall Expectations: I think this trip is going to be wild!
Wish me luck (and send me some anti-diarrheal tablets)!

Are you planning to stick to this? Will you actually keep updating this thing? It's kind of a lot of work, right?
