Jallianwallah Bagh Memorial, Amritsar

Advantages: Great location, fair price
Disadvantages: Surly service with too much attitude

...to answer the questions he thought we'd asked rather than the ones we had - and it just felt like too much trouble to try to ask for cleaning. Our train out of Amritsar departed at about 10 pm so we asked if we could have a late check out. The answer was 'sure, no problem, but we'll charge you for an extra night' which seemed a bit on the mean side to me. It wasn't as if they'd have to clean the room twice! Do I recommend?
