Udupi Brindavan Lodge scores for its prime spot, just a short walk to the temple and offerings of decent South Indian food at the attached restaurant. Parking is available, but access can be tricky. However, many guests highlight serious issues like poor cleanliness, old and untidy rooms, and a general lack of maintenance. There's no hot water in rooms, limited amenities, and reports of unpleasant odors make it less appealing. Overall, while the location is great, the condition of the property leaves a lot to be desired.
