Modern Palace
Pros:

Hospitality was great, and the person who will be there to assist you, very kind and helpful. As it is a little away from the city center, it is advised to inform prior for the preparation of food.

Room appearance and overall ambiance was perfect
Pros:

The ambiance and view is good and the balcony attached with room is there in round shape with a view to the down hill
Food was almost average
Mr Sundarraj,the manager was an excellent manager who speaks politely and the cooking and helper madam was also good to speak with

Cons:

Food rate is some high
Heater and TV was not in working condition....TV we can adjust as we are not in urgent of TV as we are there for leisure but the issue is with heater that cannot be excused as the temparature outside everyone knows that cold water cannot be used directly for taking a bath.
The location we can adjust as every vehicle can reach there provided one who knows the driving well as around 200-300 meters are to be driven carefully that if a vehicle comes opposite side we should not be panic....that's all.......
Location is approximately 2.5-3kms from town but that's manageable because one who comes in for peace of mind and relaxation this is best as no noice of vehicles like a room or resort in a town area.....and if one who looks for distance feasibility and he require to roam around every time this location may not be suggested as this is apart from the town and tourist spots....Also please do take food parcel with you when you return back to room after trip as again upu should drive back 2-3 kms to get a restaurant... Dinning room is available on 3rd floor...food not served in room....tea/coffee is served on request ed time

One suggestion to the property is to display the menu card in restaurant and available food with rate....Also requested to control the price of the food if possible......

Thank you once again

A mixed experience
Pros:

The hotel is located in a very secluded place about 3 kms from the city so it's very peaceful and quiet. We were even lucky enough to see an Indian Gaur grazing outside our balcony.

Cons:

The road to the hotel is quite rough and steep and single lane. Unless you're very experienced driving in hill stations, you should avoid this place. We were not informed prior about the route to the hotel which was quite frustrating.

The distance from the city is also a pain point because you need to plan your meals as there are No shops or restaurants near the hotel.

The hotel does provide all three meals on request at very reasonable rates. Also, we found Zomato and Swiggy were operating for short periods of time.

Bad
Pros:

Extremely secluded, comfortable and spacious.

Cons:

The worst staff that anyone can ever come across, especially the manager. When we had placed an order for next day’s breakfast, he said we will get it.

Next day morning, the hall was empty, no food on the table. We confronted the manager, who simply said it will take another 45 minutes to prepare the food. My spouse was not impressed and this resulted in an altercation.

Eventually we checked out without having breakfast, after realising the manager is an outright liar and has absolutely no sense of hospitality.

Would never ask anybody, especially couples to come here.

Last but not the least - terrible network connectivity, and the access roads are also very poor.

Good Stay
Pros:

1. Rooms stay i liked. .
2. The Support Personnel/Manager in Reception is so helpful even we reached in off late-hrs and do the needful requirements/any request. Treated guests and guided all local places.
3. Food both breakfast and dinner is like homely, taste and fresh. Cost is affordable when compared to main hotels and restaurants.
4. Best for family stay & couples for safe,comfortable stay.
5. Easy Accessible to trace the hotel with Google map assistance and manager guided well.

Cons:

All amenities are good.
The expectation is Lift needed in future if they have plan to add more floors& facilities.
we stayed in 1st floor and Internet connectivity can improve with access points.
Sign - display board is required to reach hotel while connecting from main road to hotel which help other states people or international travelers.
