大白宮酒店(The Grand White Palace)

I guess this is easily one of the best places in the vicinity. Pros- Location - walkable distance from the sattanathar temple. Clean rooms and bathrooms Breakfast is good Cons - Service - you have to follow up multiple times even for a towel Mosquitoes in the room Dining area can be cleaner; plates and cutlery can be maintained better and service can be improved

Spent one day and night in this hotel. The hotel looks grand from outside. Rooms are neat and clean. But we had to ask for the complementary water bottle (one per room) and soap (of a third rate brand). No toothbrush or paste. Coming to food, only limited fare. Don't expect typical south Indian fare. For dinner you have to choose from Chinese or North Indian. For breakfast we had Idli, Pongal and purple bhath which I suppose is a variant of Kesari bhath. But the real wonder is if you ask for Coffee you will get Instant variety and not "Filter Coffee ". In this blistering heat you can get only warm drinking water. No cool drinks.

Stayed for 2 nights to visit the Divya desam temples in Nagur. Room was spacious, clean. Parking available for 6 to 7 vehicles. Did not eat in the restaurant since the lunch opening time was 1pm !!. An Aavin booth opposite the hotel was our haunt for morning (opens at 4am) and evening cofee and night milk. The security person cleaned our car (for a small fee).
