Lemon Tree Premier, Corbett

Decent property overall, with excellent breakfast and dinner menus in the Citrus restaurant. Very courteous staff at the restaurant including Mr Virender and Mr Negi, and equally brilliant housekeeping. However, the staff at the front desk is a big let-down as they are mostly clueless about anything to do around the hotel or have to call in someone higher up all the time. Also could do with some smiles on their faces. An even bigger issue is they don't provide any meals or even a basic blanket for drivers which is quite inhumane, given that any other big property does provide basic meals for drivers or is expected of them. We were informed of this by our driver at the end of our 2 nights stay, and that they asked him for ₹500 for a breakfast. Add to that the remote location of the property, which is a bit far away from the nearest populated areas, the driver was forced to drive 20 kms to grab any meals.

The property is beautifully maintained and is situated in a lovely environment.

Amazing views

The property is quite large and the general atmosphere pleasant. It has several facilties including a pool. The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the room, which is the most important thing was very disappointing due to a very strong moldy smell. I confirmed that there was mold on the sofa chairs. I pointed out the smell but was told it's just the refresher. As a result I had a pretty miserable night. For a $100 room this is unacceptable. While the view at the back of the property is really nice (river and mountains), the view out of the window was a construction site. Finally, the location on the map was very misleading. The property is not actually in Ramnagar, but about a 45 min drive from there. The road there is very narrow with only one lane in most places and quite rough since parts are under construction.
