Good value friendly to foreigners and easy to find near railway station. Short three wheeler ride to sunset point and sunrise point

We stayed at Hotels Umaiyyal Home Stay for 3 nights. The rooms are very good and spacious. They were tidy and well-maintained. However, during our stay, the lifts were not operational. We were allocated a room on the 3rd floor, so we had to use the stairs for two days. The staff here is not proactive; they wait until we complain, and follow-up is required. The hotel is a bit far from the beaches and the Vivekananda memorial. It would be a better option if you are traveling by car or bike, as they offer free car and bike parking.

very limited dining options with slow service. the staff was very courteous.
