I had a wonderful stay at Sinclair's Ooty, where the scenic beauty and excellent service truly made it memorable. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, and the staff, particularly the management, were exceptional in their hospitality. However, I did notice some issues with the cleanliness of my room, which detracted from the overall experience. The location provided stunning views, but reaching the town could take some time due to traffic.
