Availability of hot water
We didn't even dared to stay there after seeing the condition of the rooms of the hotel. So, will not be able to answer. But, I think, it will be available, since that is the nominal requirement in Hill Stations like Ooty. But may have a time limit, like morning 6:00AM to 12:00PM. I faced this in one other hotel in Ooty.
