I was on a medical check-up at christian medical college and hospital, ranipet. Hotel al-taj, nandhiyalam showed as the nearest hotel to the hospital and i reserved the hotel accordingly. To get to the hotel venue wasn't easy and one has to depend on a reserved transport from katpadi railway station, which about 30 kilometers distance. The hotel is very untidy, full of mosquitoes, no toiletries, drinking water supplied in the room. The towel i was initially provided was very dirty and i had to ask for replacement. There was no extra linen provided over the bed, except a dirty blanket which is probably never washed. The air-conditioning swinging didn't work and the air straight fell on body. When i asked for all-out mosquito machine, i was asked to go and buy one from outside and the hotel can't do anything about mosquitoes. The dustbin was not cleared after the previous traveler cleared the room and the room was stinking while opening the bin. The hotel may suit for distance drivers who needs to have a overnight stay. But not for business travelers.
