Civilisation amongst the chaos
Pros:

Great civilised hotel in the centre of town. The staff were all friendly and engaged. The rooftop pool was fabulous and the views from there too. The restaurant manager Sony was very kind to us and the chef came out to speak with us even though it was a busy night.

Cons:

It would be nice if they had a proper bar or served alcohol in the caffeine café. You had to go into the restaurant to have a drink even though people might be cleaning all around you.

Stayed for 2 days, car got damaged while parked at the property. Hotel won't share the footage.
Pros:

I stayed with family for two days at Sterling Thekkady, Good size rooms, nice restaurant, friendly staff.

Cons:

The rooms appear to have some sorts liquids poured from top down on the walls. Staff were good. A major issue was that my car was parked at the front parking lot of the hotel, someone reversed into my car and damaged it. The hotel staff informed me that there is no incident noted in the surveillance video footage, but when requested to see it or for a copy of the footage, the hotel denied. It's a clear indication that the hotel in trying to avoid their liability.

Cons:

From family and vacation point of view, the facilties for entertainment could be better.
