Hotel Jai turned out to be a pleasant surprise during our family trip to Kodaikanal. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the complimentary breakfast was quite good. However, the dinner and lunch weren't as satisfying, and I encountered some delays with room service. Overall, it’s a decent place that won’t break the bank, but it needs a bit of improvement in certain areas.

The hotel is a decent choice for summer stays, offering a quick check-in process and clean, spacious rooms.
