Reached Coorg at 10:00 in the night, and had called the hotel on the way near Mysore to make a reservation. The Director cum Manager confirmed that rooms were available. I reach Coorg at night and order some beer and food (actually soup, rotis, chicken and a raitha), and to my surprise I get the raitha first followed by the soup and then the beer. Then I call up the reception and tell them that I prefer the beer and appetiser first before the raitha and the soup. The guy takes it back, and returns later with the raitha and same cold soup!. I finish my dinner and sleep for the night. The real shocker comes at morning 8.
I get a call from the reception asking me to vacate the room, because someone else already has a reservation. I freshen up go up to the reservation, and tell them that I have booked the room for two days and the manager or whoever booked the room had also confirmed the availabilty and that I have already paid in in advance for two days. But the receptionist and the manager stick to their point and say they do not have a choice, and that I need to vacate, and I need to vacate the room by 12:00 noon because that is their checkout time. After repeated requests for an alternative arrangement nothing works.
Finally I concede and the guy at the reception offers to help me find another hotel (thats a different story :)). I end up packing again and vacate the room by 12:00. While leaving I ask them for a discount, well they refuse citing their policies. And I finally decide to simply get out of the place so that I do not ruin my vacation anymore.
So folks!! now you know where to go if you never find a room at Coorg!!
