Soon after Dussehra, October 2008, we decided to do a quick trip to Mysore to take our 3-year old to the Chamundi Hills and the zoo (typically, Mysore is tightly packed during Dussehra. ). She was then fascinated with the huge statue of the Mahishasura demon in front of the Chamundi temple, which she had seen on the television and from her granny's tales. We started from Bangalore on a Saturday morning and started driving towards Mysore. My task as the navigator was to look at the bill boards of the hotels and resorts at Mysore, quickly jot down their numbers, and give them a call to enquire the tariffs for an overnight stay. After a few
calls, we decided on Kingscourt, which is very close to the railway station. It was almost 3 PM when we reached Kingscourt and we decided to grab a quick meal, as the restaurant was almost shutting down. The food did not entice us a bit, and I was getting judgmental about their rooms, based on the food we had. Thankfully, the rooms were pretty spacious, comfortable, and clean for an overnight's stay. The services are quite slow. The complimentary breakfast was just about ok. The food was priced a little higher for its quality.
Kingscourt is located just opposite to the Metropole resort, a Royal-Orchid chain of hotels.
Mysore zoo is a must see, and we felt that the facilities were getting better.
