Service not worth the price

Staff are friendly but not prompt in service. This includes the reception and room services. I booked a Royal Suite and all I got was towel and shower cap. So no amenities are provided. You request for drinking water or maintenance and you are obliged to remind them several times yourself. Ask for the complimentary 2 bottles of tap water and you get only one after an hour. Location is ok, the varieties at the buffet breakfast are satisfactory. Please avoid the farthest rooms from reception since WiFi won’t be available. Overall for the price paid, the service is not up to the mark. For the same price I can expect a 5 star treatment in metro cities.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It’s bad and terrible experience, rooms are filled with fungus and bad smell in the room. Towels are not cleaned. Room ceiling was pealing on and paint was falling down. Floor cleaning was done after the check in. Not recommend for family and businesses trips. Room heaters are not free, it’s paid service in a hill station. All request was responded after numerous reminders.

JC Residency - Kodai - comfortable stay !

The location is a bit away from the Lake area . But the surroundings are quiet and serene. The room is clean and spacious .The garden is a nice one with beautiful flowers. There is a play area for kids. The pet birds add to the attraction and fun. The food is warm and delicious. The service has been good. We had a comfortable stay .
