I had a mixed experience at SMS Grand Inn. The location is quite convenient for those visiting CMC, and the rooms are spacious and clean, making it comfortable for families. However, I found the service to be lacking, and the dining options were quite limited and didn't meet my expectations.
Rooms
The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-lit, which I appreciated during my stay. Rating: 8/10
Service
Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. The room service was slow, and I found the staff to be unhelpful at times. Rating: 5/10
Location
The location is good, situated about 2 km from CMC, making it convenient for my visit. It’s on a main road, but finding an auto can be tricky as they often don't know the hotel. Rating: 7/10
Dining
The dining experience was disappointing. The complimentary breakfast was limited to South Indian items, and the food ordered to the room wasn’t great either. Rating: 4/10
Facilities
The hotel has some basic facilities, but I would have liked to see more amenities available. There was Wi-Fi, but the breakfast area felt congested. Rating: 6/10

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which offered clean and modern rooms at a good price. The service was generally satisfactory, though there were some hiccups with hot water. The location is fairly accessible, and the complimentary breakfast was enjoyable. However, the lack of parking facilities and the room size could be downsides for some guests.

I stayed at this hotel hoping for a pleasant experience, but it was quite the opposite. The location is decent, being close to important areas, and the rooms are clean and tidy. However, the service left much to be desired, and the amenities were lacking. Overall, I would say it’s not worth the price they charge, which feels too high for what you actually get.

This hotel is ideally situated right across from the collector's office, making it convenient for travelers. While the rooms are clean and have modern amenities, they are quite small for the price. The breakfast was decent, but the service was a bit slow. Parking is also a challenge, as there’s limited space available. Overall, it's not the best value for money given the small town setting.

I had a decent one-night stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and the bathroom well-maintained, plus the food was tasty with prompt service. However, I found the location close to the highway to be noisy at times, and some amenities, like the pillow covers, needed attention. It wasn’t a perfect experience, but minor improvements could make it better.
