The Checkers Hotel

Hotel is not maintained at all. Paint is peeling off everywhere be it the rooms, corridors or the lobby. Everything in this hotel seems very old and not updated for a long time. The thermostat of the room AC was not working and the AC itself was not cooling effectively. The bathroom had no ventilation whatsoever and there was always some kind of dark coloured residue in the pot. The room was not cleaned even after asking them to have them cleaned while we were out on couple of occasions. The staff was pleasant and courteous. Hotel needs a serious revamp. Breakfast was ok.

Hotel has a grand facade. The lobby area is very spacious and grand. But the moment you enter the room not so good. The lights in the room were very uninviting. Most of the lights did not work either. The room was booked for two but only 1 towel was provide during checkin. Literally everything you need had to be asked for. Wifi was good. Restaurant ala cart option was nice. Buffet I will never have. Since the restaurant was not always busy the buffet was there all the time. And has no guarantee of the good quality. I saw most of the dishes repeat the next day as well. Room overall was not good. The place looked like a abandoned hotel were only a few guest come. The hotel is very old. The rust and the wear and tear tells you that. The major problem the hotel has is the abundance of mosquitoes and there is no action taken against the hotel management. Lots and lots of mosquitoes just everywhere. The taxi which came to pick us up to go to town picked up 100 of of mosquitoes till the time we all went in the cab. Overall a bad experience. Make my trip should not give it three stars its below average.

Most unclean Hotel with poor infrastructure. Even basic things like being rodent free and Sanitation is a challenge. Hot water is only in morning and evening, if required in between they give you a rusted immersion rod. Staff are helpful, but looks like management is not focused on maintaining the property. Location of the hotel is the only positive which has made me choose 1 star. Too too expensive for the rate they charged us.

Not a preferred hotel.....rooms are not hi-gene, not comfortable to to sleep. No ventilation for the toilets. Even after changed the room found the other room too the same condition.... No focus on continual improvement.

The hotel looks grand from the outside. But in the rooms, it's a completely different situation, maintenance issues all around, fridge didn't work, no coffee making facility. But the real deal breaker was the mosquitos in the room. The lobby and ambiance has the feel of a 4 or 5 star. The service was good and reception staff are good and helpful that earned the 2 star rating. If not for the mosquitos, I would have rated it 4 for the location and service.
