Ktdc Tamarind, Mannarkkad

It looks an attractive option just due to the size of Mannarkkad town and its limited facilities. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. Since it is a two storeyed building, there is no lift. The staff at the reception have limited knowledge of the tourist spots around and the means of access to those points. They are nice people but with limited knowledge. Ms. Manjusha seems to be the only staff with a fair grip over everything. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance but the service is exceptionally slow. The menu is too limited. The whole set up seemed understaffed too. Access is not difficult being just about half a kilometre from Aryambavu junction. There is adequate parking space for 4 wheelers and two wheelers. Prices appear reasonable. One can reinvent the child inside in the swing fixed outside the building near the parking area.
