Shine Residency

We recently stayed at Signed Residency for a quick overnight halt on our way to Wayanad. We were looking for a clean and convenient place just to rest for the night, and this property turned out to be a great choice. Although locating the property was slightly tricky, it was manageable with some navigation. Once we reached, we found the room to be quite spacious and comfortable. For the price of just ₹1500 for a non-AC room, the stay was definitely worth it. The room came with all the basic amenities — including a geyser and air conditioning (for AC rooms) — and the bathroom was clean and functional. It’s a great option for small families or groups of three looking for a budget-friendly and hassle-free overnight stay. Overall, Signed Residency is a value-for-money stay option and we would recommend it for anyone passing through or making a short stop near Wayanad.

We stayed in Room 101, located beside the reception, which was a non-AC room. The room had a king-size bed, comfortably accommodating two people, with four pillows provided. On both sides of the bed, there were tables equipped with charging points for phones. The room also included an Android TV, a study table, a hanger, and a mirror near the washroom. The washroom was very clean and hygienic. Hot water was available through a geyser, but in our experience, even after plugging it in for 30 minutes, the water was only mildly warm. Since we visited in November, the cooler climate may have affected the water temperature. However, the shower only worked with cold water. The hotel has excellent parking facilities and a lawn that is suitable for small gatherings. However, the residency is located in an industrial area, and the surroundings aren’t very appealing. While we didn’t notice any unpleasant smells, the area felt a bit scary at night, especially since we were traveling by two-wheeler. Thankfully, the roads were well-lit, and we didn’t encounter any issues. The nearest hotel for food is 1.5 km away, and the nearest bus stop is 5 km away. They do prepare food if requested. Their check-in and check-out timings are fixed at 12 PM, even if your stay is short (e.g., 12–4 PM), as it is considered a full day. They explained that this is because cleaning the room thoroughly, replacing bed sheets, pillow covers, and ensuring hygiene is both time-consuming and costly. However, they were kind enough to extend our check-out time by an hour. Although some reviews mentioned discomfort with the bed, we found it comfortable. The bed felt firm, likely not a spring mattress, but we had a good night’s sleep. Summary: 1. Room Complimentary: Water bottle, Milk powder sachet, Tea sachet, Coffee sachet, Body soap, Shampoo and Bath towels. 2. Hygiene: Clean washroom; hot water was mildly warm; shower worked only for cold water. 3. Parking & Lawn: Spacious parking and a lawn for small gatherings. 4. Location: Industrial area, not very scenic; roads were well-lit but felt slightly scary at night. 5. Proximity: Nearest hotel 1.5 km, bus stop 5 km away. 6. Check-in/Check-out: Fixed at 12 PM; extensions may be possible with prior request. 7. Overall Comfort: Firm mattress, comfortable sleep, and good value for money. Verdict: A budget-friendly stay with basic amenities and good hospitality, though the location and minor issues with hot water could be improved.

Overall experience was good, food was also good, very good and budget hotel for small stay. Overall good compared to other budget hotels. Electricity sometimes goes off. There is no nearby hotels so please be mindful of the same. Further ola cabs refuse to come here so you have to hire a cab for the whole day.
