As it is the business hotel, most of its customers are either business delegates or the Airline Crew.

Hazi Ali Dargah: And as a traveller, I always feel that we can know the city better only if we explore it by ourselves than going for tourist packages. So we walked to the nearest railway station, Vileparle and got down at Mahalakshmi station. Found this lottery ticket shop during our walk. Wanna try?
