Green View Clarks Inn, Shimoga

** Rating should be -5 it is that bad ** I was on a roadtrip to to ***galore and took a break in Shimoga. Idea was to enjoy the scenic drive from Shimoga to ***galore in the morning after a good rest. We were tired from our long drive and were looking forward to this break. As soon as we checked-in, the front desk informed us that the AC is not working due to some technical issue in all the rooms and they have arranged for a fan to co****sate. AC was working in the lobby and when questioned the lady gave some lame excuses. I checked some of the reviews after checking in on Google - most of the recent reviews said either there is no AC or AC is terrible. I had booked the room using one of the travel websites and did not bother much to look at reviews as the overall rating was decent. The room was not tidy and there was some strange stench (perhaps due to smoking). This place seems to be frequented by non-family folks as the ambience reflected the same with cigarette butts and bottles spewn over the corridor. We spent the night in sweat and without adequate rest we wanted. The front desk was not courteous and did not want to own the responsibility. They were mere messengers of the ***ager Mr Shoib who was not at the location and was remote and giving directions on the cell. I wanted to be co****sated as I had paid upfront during booking. I am yet to hear from the ***ager. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS HOTEL 😡😡

Green View Clark’s Inn 1. The rooms weren’t particularly clean. Spaces under the cots seemed not to have been cleaned in a while. 2. There was rust and white cement and discolourations in the bathroom rooves and walls. 3. Some rooms did not receive water at various points in the morning, while some did not receive hot water. I used my tea kettle to heat water for my bath. 4. The buffet breakfast is disappointing in terms of variety, availability, and service. 5. The a la carte lunch at the restaurant was fabulous in terms of quantity, cost, quality and variety. Service was okay. 6. Facilities (such as tea kettles and in fact towels) were not always available in the rooms as promised/ expected. 7. We gave laundry on the day of check out before we decided to check out. Some of it came back laundered but still damp. 8. The beds and pillows were comfortable. We checked out earlier than scheduled because mainly of the water. But overall, I would not recommend this hotel. Prices are too high for this level of service, although no price can persuade us to stay here again.

Spent a couple of nights last month in this property. The location is good, the front desk/reception employees were friendly and willing to help, the restaurant staff were supportive and overall a good ambience. The room was good (on the back side not on road side) but the wash room was not upto the mark. Hot water was always a problem, the overall cleanliness of the wash room was much below expectations. However, the restaurant and food quality was very good (music volume was a bit loud) and we had good meals. The breakfast had lot of varieties and most of the dishes were served hot. Overall a decent place to spend a few nights.

Worst experience ever.. 1) The rooms are not at all clean.. they did not clean the space under bed. We booked 3 rooms and all the rooms had garbage used water bottles, balloons, paper. 2) They cost 3k plus gst. I specifically told the rooms has to be clean since I have kids especially a small baby. 3) When I tried to complaint the facility ***ager was like mam keep ur voice low. And the worst thing is they cleaned one side of the bed and went and I had to again call them to clean the other side. 4) On top of all we realised (the next day) that 1500 cash was missing from our purse when we have gone out for dinner. We have asked for towels and they have opened the room without our permission and kept the towels inside. And we strongly suspect that the missing cash was taken at that time as we have never taken out that purse anywhere. Do not book this hotel ever! Pathetic service!

They provide torn and dirty bedsheet. It was not changed in next day, After informing to the front desk also. Breakfast was cold on both days. Days shift Staff's behavior was very bad. But hotel ***ager and front desk behavior was very good.

I had to travel to Shimoga on a business trip and arrived early in the morning via train from Bengaluru. The hotel was recommended to me by the company I was visiting and boy was it convenient to walk across from the railway station. The reception had a guy on alert who swiftly checked me into a clean and functional room. The linen was spotless and overall, there was nothing I could fault with the room. For the purpose I was there, it served me very well. The staff are courteous and the restaurant is also decent. Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Shimoga for work or pleasure.
