    I have joined this travel forum so that I can get some help in finding hotels in Mahabaleshwar. I am looking for a mid range hotel, which is decent with a good bathroom but is rated mid-range.

    I would like the forum members to provide some hotels in Mahabaleshwar with tariff details as well.

    Thank you in advance.
