Poor cleanliness. Rooms in shambles. Broken beds. Carpets that were cleaned a decade ago. If you have to spend this kind of money, you can find much better and much cleaner options. Only saving grace is the staff that tries to be courteous. In short - dont go for Holiday Inn. It is a Gem Park Hotel. Nothing Holiday Inn... More

For a chain hotel from the Holiday Inn stable, this was a bit surprising.... the property needs a lot of upkeep.... needs a fresh look. Whether its the lobby, restaurants, pool, rooms etc. a lot of loose ends need to be tightened. While, they still strive to maintain the service levels, its still difficult when the freshness is missing...... especially... More

The hotel is located on a quiet hillside minutes from the center of town. There are stunning views of the valley and mountains beyond from much of the property, the main dining room and some guest rooms. The hotel must have been very nice when it first opened, but now it is showing signs or wear and tear. The public... More

Nice location. Very nice staff specially at restaurants. Hotel seriously needs renovation. Rooms have basic amenities but they are really old and don't meet the traveller as mine expectations. Bathrooms are renovated however the fittings don't work.

We stayed in 10 hotels across India and this was one of the best. Situated in a most famous southern hill station town at 2240m in the western Ghats.From your room you look either into the mists and fog or surreal beauty of a green oasis depending on what the day brings. Beautiful local food produced in the rich volcanic... More
