Piccadily Hotel HOTEL $$ (%2707571; www.thepiccadily.com; Sector 22-B; s/d from 3850/4850; aiW) This ageing but appealing three-star property off ers complimentary breakfast, contemporary rooms with LCD TV, minibar, sofa, writing desk, tea-andcoffee- making facilities, safe, and satiny bed- covers.
