Itsy Hotels Hill Town, 500 Mtrs from Madikeri Fort

No what we expected. The reviews on Google were largely favorable, but it's important to understand what people's expectations are. I would rate this is a 2-star (minus) hotel. Hotel staff was friendly, patient, and helpful. However, the facilities were orderly but not super clean. The rooms had an odd odor, and the sheets had visible stains. Rooms are locked from the *outside* with a strange bolt. No A/C and windows are barred, meaning others can't come in, but you also can't get out. Also, the clientele who patronize the establishment were not an orderly or considerate lot. Children and families were piled into rooms, and running about. Location was hard to find as the building is situated at the very back of an alley. There is parking, but limited. In a short time it became unbearable, so much so that we left and abandoned our 3-day booking. Not worth it. In summary, if you're on a shoe-string budget, simply need a place to rest your head or need this location, you might entertain this. But as a family we quickly concluded this was unfit for our needs and expectations.
