When I checked in the room had prior guest’s trash and the bed and bathroom smelled terrible. The couch had blood stains. Gave my laundry to be cleaned and it came back stinking like urine. The food was also bad.

View from the room is amazing , but the when we opened the washroom door there was a strange awful odor in the washroom, the in room dining menu sucks it’s barely any menu … the breakfast was good with so many options …. The staff were great in greeting , but the room lacks so many amenities, no iron , no hot water 24/7 , no fridge , on some occasions our room service was horrible we had to call like 3 times to enquire about the order ….. it’s barely a 3 star resort …..

Hotels.com should not advertise this hotel. Services are very limited. Place is not 1.6 Km from Ooty center. It is nearly 7 KM. Maps does have the right direction. I think i should be refunded part of my cost. Would not recommend to friends.

Disliked: Amenities
The property looks very pretty and has a nice view of the city. sadly our stay was a bit disappointing as we had chosen this hotel due to it having a spa. they never advised in advance that the spa was closed for renovation. so we payed a much higher price for a hotel that had no spa or internet. the internet did not work during our entire stay. considering some of the phones did not get a signal at the property, that mean being out of touch and not being able to research places to see. so overall a disappointing stay. the only bright side is that the staff was very nice. in the future the hotel SHOULD list on it's website that it's spa is not working. honestly if we had been not as nice customers we would have had a fit over the false advertising.

The stay was excellent but few suggestions. They are lacking hair dryers in each room, they should have lights in cupboards. The kettles were not properly cleaned.
