OYO Flagship 11703 Hemlata Lodge

There’s no in-house restaurant, and hardly any housekeeping staff around. Service was very poor. The manager wouldn’t replace the stale, dirty blanket even after I asked several times. Still, the room and toilet were quite clean, and the AC worked well. It’s a small lodge.

I chose this place because of its decent MakeMyTrip rating, but it didn’t live up to it. I was in room 301, and the cupboards were so dusty they looked like they’d never been cleaned. A bedsheet had been left inside one, but it was unwashed and smelled bad. The room and bathroom weren’t clean, and they couldn’t even provide a neat bedsheet and towel. I hated staying here.

Room service was good, and the location made it easy to find places for evening walks or food to take away. The rooms are cozy, if small. The fan regulator was broken, but since I used the AC it didn’t bother me much. Overall, a good experience.

There’s a hotel or restaurant on the first floor where you can grab a quick bite before heading out to get things done. It provides both food and a place to stay. The staff were good, and the place was clean and hygienic. If you arrive early in the morning and nobody is at reception, go up to the second floor and knock, the owner stays there.
