I recently had the misfortune of staying at MJ Residency in Puri, and I must say, it was a horrible experience. Although the hotel is a budget-friendly option and conveniently located near the station, the hygiene issues were a major turn-off.
We booked the hotel for a few hours, as we had to catch a train, but the condition of the room and amenities was appalling. The bathroom had a lizard, the balcony was dirty and full of pigeon poop, and the room itself was unclean. The food served was also subpar.
The only redeeming qualities of the hotel were the good receptionist and helpful staff, who assisted us in getting an auto to the station. However, this small gesture of goodwill wasn't enough to make up for the overall disappointment.
Given the state of the hotel, I would advise potential guests to think twice before booking here. While it's close to the station, the lack of cleanliness and poor food quality make it a less-than-ideal choice for travelers. Unless they improve their hygiene standards, I wouldn't recommend MJ Residency to anyone.
