Hotel Sarovar

At Ongole you probably won't find too many hotels. So, I didn't really have any choice and had to get this one only. Let me summerize my experience: 📌 Location: Behind the Ratnamahal Theatre (Google Map took me in front of the theater and claimed that was the Hotel), but next to main road & lot of shops & eateries around. 📌 Reception: OK (while checking out, I was requested cash, instead of card or UPI/PayTM) 📌 Services: Had an issue with the TV, was promptly addressed. Nice! 📌 In Room Dining: Restricted timings (e.g. evening snacks available after 7:00 PM). But food quality and quantity - both were really nice. 👌 📌 Room: - Don't expect too much, will be disappointed. Good for a quick night's stay. - There is only limited plug points in the room (unless you wish to take out the TV) - Room is spacious, but no carpet - You get one towel, dental kit - One bottle of complimentary mineral water 📌 Wash Room: Just about OK. Keep low expectations. Plus side - you do get hot & cold water. 📌 AC: Worked very well 👍 📌 Wi-Fi: Probably available (saw mesh routers), but neither front office informed, nor did I bother. 📌 Breakfast: Again, keep low expectations. If you are OK with Dosa/Idli - you will manage. 📌 Car Parking: Generally they advise to park right in front of the hotel during day and inside gated compound (adjacent to hotel) at night. But they do have a 24/7 guard. So, even Road side should be fine. 🤞 📌Hotel Staff: They appeared friendly, tried their best to help against every request. Overall: Good food, average stay - OK for one night! For longer stay - perhaps double check your choices.

Arrived late in the evening at the hotel to a very brusque *** at the reception. Pretty noisy at night. Mentioned it to the hotel staff and we were moved to a similar room right next to the service elevator. No change in the noise levels. The reservation was for 3 people and all we got was a double bed. Most of the bed linen was dirty or had large ink stains. Bathrooms appeared unclean due to water stains. Will not go back.
