Peenaz's 6 days trip to Coonoor

Hotels - Raisana was near and clean. Roopa hotel was well managed but it wasn't well managed but the food at their restaurant had a lot of soda in their fitters. We informed this there too. For the third stay we expected a deluxe stay and because of some miscommunication we ended in a lodge type place though an alternative was given to us but our mood was spoilt since we were expecting better for the price. We were kept in some lodging residency type of thing. Cab and driver - the drivers skills were good and he was experiencing but the car was old and broken. Firstly he outright refused to take us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary. The car's front seat was broken, back seat was coming out. The car needs maintenance. Service - I felt outsmarted by the travel agent twice and the mistake is mine that I trusted blindly. These two bad instances made me have a bad opinion. For the price I paid my stays except for the first one were pathetic
