terrible experience at the grand inn, mysore i stayed at the grand inn in mysore yesterday, thinking it was a good choice since it’s just 350 meters from the suburban bus stand. but i truly regret it. i booked a non-ac room , but it was completely unhygienic. the room was not clean, the bed had no bedsheet or towel, and the pillow was untidy. the bathroom was dirty, no hot water came from the tap, and the shower wasn’t working. they also took our photos at check-in and check-out, which felt strange and uncomfortable. just 2 days earlier, i stayed near st. philomena's church for the same price, got a clean ac room, and had a much better experience. 🛑 so my advice: don’t book just because it’s near the bus stand. choose a clean and well-reviewed hotel, even if it's a little farther. a good night's sleep is more important than walking a few extra meters.
