Hi Liangwin,
Thanks for the comments on my blog on Igatpuri. Igatpuri is at its best in Monsoon. You have to go in Monsoon.
There are a few hotels. Hotel Manas is the most expensive. Others are Hotel Ashwin, Ganak Hotel and Golden Resort. Google will help you to get the numbers as I don't have them with me.
thanks
