Cheap and Cheating Hotels
We have been to all kinds of hotels in India. These are the worst kind of hotels. Out of this, Alankar Grande hotel has not even been registered as 3 star or 5 hotel. They have made a fake publicity that its a 3 star Hotel. All staff in the hotels are playing drama with the customers. Even catering students get offended by these people. They doesn't want to take the feedback from us about the ambiance and service by the staffs in this hotel. The way they saw us like a Criminal. Normally they treat the people as accused or criminal in their hotel. Even catering students suffer there during training in these hotels.

The staff in these hotels are all short tempered and drop outs of catering college. They don't even know to communicate. Entrepreneurs don't know anything about the catering industry because they do plenty of business and backup. Commonly bars in these hotels is like a road side Indian Tea shop that includes the rest room also.The Entrepreneurs are not bothered about their customers because most of the people in this Rural-urban combo city don't know anything. There will be changes happening in the city lifestyle and improvement. People will know one day to leave this stupid hotel. They make all South Indian food the same all the year. They don't provide specialty food there.
When compared to hotels in Chennai and Bangalore, Coimbatore has worst hotels.
