Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

You may check Vivek Tourist Home, Coonoor. Budget hotel without much frills.

I am coming from Theppakkadu direction and driving towards Calicut. Just need a late night stay and that too no ladies in our group which ticks our choice for a economic accomodation.

Guys,

Anyone tried Kushi by now? We are going this weekend. Have no clue on its goodness but we are just three bachelors and ready to sleep on road too

@Waseem: Thanks for your suggestion. I missed out to mention Yercaud in the list. We had done this about 7yrs ago. Can give another dash though

@ranjitp1: Thank you. Haven't tired Valparai yet. Can you provide more details on that, i mean is there any write-up/travelogue in the forum where I can go have a look and get more info?

@kirantp - Do look up the Valparai general information thread as well. Sinnadorai is an excellent place to stay though a bit expensive.

Any recommendations for hotel in Hubli,karnataka for a night stay? Hotel should be within 3-4 kms radius from Bhavani nagar,hubli. A clean hotel with AC rooms with reasonable pricing would be preferred. Please suggest! TIA

Not sure if budget would fit you. Clarks Inn is the best place in Hubli. Its about 4 km from Ankola road exit from Hubli bypass. Though I am dont know how far its from the you place you refer to. But this is one of the best places in Hubli.

Clarks inn is way too costly! Room rent of around 4-5K when i checked on a couple of sites.
