We were 6 individuals, two families, travelling to Murudeshwar from Kerala for the first time. We booked two rooms in a package deal through MakeMyTrip at the Shree Vinayaka Residency and the booking process was smooth and easy to follow. The people at the hotel were very helpful and gave us clear information and also arranged our car for our onward trip to Udupi. The rooms (one Ac and one non-ac) were clean, neat and functional. The best aspect was that the hotel is just beyond the hustle and bustle and is quiet, has good views. It is in a quiet location, yet easily reachable. You may have to wait a few minutes to get autorickshaws. There is veg and non-veg separate restaurants adjoining the hotel and it is convenient. We would certainly recommend for first-time visitors to Murudeshawr, especially from Kerala. As the hotel is away from the beach, you will not have to suffer the fish smell. The hotel is nothing fancy but meets our functional needs for a short stay and visit to the tourist spot.
