I am traveling to Tirupathi after several years may be 25 years or so. I remember stepping over spit and the filthiness of that place, however I fondly also remember eating the prasad with no fuss and of-course asking for more. That was 25 years ago. I was always told about how crowded a place Tirupathi is and wait time so I had mentally prepared myself that I would overcome all of that as I was going on a pilgrimage and not on a holiday. So I called clear trip.come and did the reservation at a hotel Sindhoori which I was later told that they were fully booked and that Tirumala residency was available. I agreed and made a reservation. Alls was well until I reached Tirumala Residency. I was told at the reception that my check out date was the 29th of Aug however the check in date was not there as a result all rooms were booked. I did produce the reservation notice from clear trip and they said sorry. My displeasure, well complemented by my angry tone of speech did help me discover that a house keeping boy took the request for reservation from clear trip. After having waited for an hour and with a few calls to clear trip who was managing my reservation I was told that in 30 mins I could expect a room and then the second room once I am back after Darshan. I thought that was fair and so decided to take accept the "make shift offer". Once we opened the room there was nothing by silence in the 4 of us as we were speechless on what we saw. Look at the pictures and I will leave you to decide what was running through my head. All that I can say is soon after the Darshan(which was the best part as we gotta see the lord at close proximity and in full glitter) which took almost 6 hours of waiting and pushing and showing, we drove to Bangalore sleeping on the wheels of the car but thanking god for the mess we were out. I have a lot more pictures but since mouths hut only permits 2 pictures thus. The Pillow covers were not washed for months, the bathroom drains were blocked and there was an overall feeling of Yukiness. Please refrain from using this hotel if you ever go to Tirumala or Tirupathi.Regards, Shibin
