The stay was very positive.
Pros:

The location was very easily accessible by road. The property has enough car parking facilities.

Cons:

There could be some improvement in the way guests are given guidance in respect of tourism-related facilities, visit-timings, booking requirements etc.. That is one area where I felt needs to be more professional.

Pros:

Roof top pool, rooms. Staff were great.

Cons:

Location. Very limited options on the restaurant. The hotel being located on the border of Kerala and Tamilnadu. There was a very limited options for kerala and Tamil Nadu food. Most of the menu was north indian which doesn't represent the region and had to avoid food from the restaurant.
