It was dark by the time we drove into Hassan. I was put up in hotel Southern Star.
I am very non fussy about my living quarters. A comfortable bed and a clean bathroom gets 4 stars from me. Southern Star was a revelation. Nicely decorated, big rooms, 2 restaurants, full bar, souvenir shop; it was much more than what I had expected.
Most of residents at the Hotels seemed to be Caucasian. The guy at the reception confided that upwards of 95% of the traffic was for Belur-Hallebid. The hotel with its amenities can compete with most good hotels I have used. At Rs. 1500 a night ($37 and change) it is a downright steal.
I tucked into delicious coastal cuisine at Cauvery and hit the sack.
