Looking for a Residency in Mettur? Here’s What to Expect

Search for a place to stay in Mettur and you will see the word “residency” again and again. What does it actually mean, and is a residency right for your trip? Here is a plain guide.

What is a “residency” hotel?

In Tamil Nadu, a residency is usually a mid-range town hotel: comfortable AC rooms with attached bathrooms, a front desk that stays open, and often a dining hall or a meeting hall. It sits between a basic lodge or tourist home and a resort. It is more comfortable than a lodge, and more central than a resort.

Who a residency stay suits

  • Families: larger rooms that sleep four, extra bedding and proper meals.
  • Pilgrims: hot water early in the morning and a desk that is open for 4 a.m. departures.
  • Business guests: a work desk, Wi-Fi and a hall for meetings.
  • Wedding and function guests: many rooms in one building and a dining hall for the group.
