Fabexpress Kovalam Residency

The rooms are spacious, but the furnishings feel cheap, and insects and mosquitoes were all over the room. The AC kept switching on and off while we were trying to sleep. Getting there by car was difficult too, since the roads were under construction. You could use it just to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Better to spend a few hundred more on a decent hotel than try to save money and regret it later.

We left after just two hours. The bed wasn’t clean, and the air conditioning didn’t work. It was hard to find the hotel, and the directions we got weren’t helpful. With a liquor shop nearby, it didn’t feel family-friendly.

The hotel is near a tasmac, and there were lots of drunk people around, with people doing private things out in the open. It was shocking. We had to change rooms because the first one had frogs and lizards in it, as well as an ant nest. The replacement room was okay, though its bedsheets were stained.

I paid 2k, but the room and bed were very dirty. There was no water in the washroom and no hot water. The service was basically nonexistent. This felt like a third-class hotel, and I think it may be meant for some other purpose.
