My stay at De Exotica Crest was overall a mixed experience. The location was quite appealing, nestled in the scenic Shimla hills, though I found the room rates weren't fully justified by the quality. On the upside, the room service was prompt and the dining options, especially the burgers, were satisfying. Nonetheless, I did notice that the service could improve, particularly concerning bathroom cleanliness.
