I stayed at GRT Nature trails Yercaud with my family from 2nd to 4th Jan 2013. It was a mixed bag of good and not so good experiences. At arrival, the room category for which the reservation was made wasn't ready, even after we arrived way past the standard check-in time of the hotel. Since we were traveling by train from Chennai, thus requested the hotel for Car pickup from Salem. Unfortunately, my wife forgot her stole in the car. it wasnt returned till two days later we realized and asked the Front desk staff to check. It left a not so good impression about the staff integrity.
Though I must say, room that we took had stunning view of the valley. You could almost spent hours in the balcony, but monkeys are a big nuisance. If you must, please do so on your own risk.
Food quality could be better, though variety offered is enough. Hotel supplies are quite average. Menu folders are in bad condition, both in the room and in restaurant.
Also, initially we had reserved two rooms and paid full advance for the entire package upfront.
Due to unavoidable circumstance, my friend couldn't accompany us to this holiday and promptly cancelled his reservation. But till date the refund of that reservation hasnt been given (Rs 8700/-).
I am sure if the Management of GRT group looks into all these issue, they will find many more regular and loyal guests.
