Raja mohamedUnited KingdomOverall good option for the family travellers, Saranya in the reception was very helpful.
The location is ok, still its a bit of drive away from the lake. Its not literally close to lake.
A bit of drain smell near the kids play area.
Aaziq MohamedIndiaBest and safe place for family trip
Cleanliness and kindness of the staff. Especially Ms. Saranya was supportive and helpful with genuine hospitality.
No proper car parking facilities, could have been better.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Sterling Kodai Lake
What time is check-in and check-out at Sterling Kodai Lake?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Sterling Kodai Lake allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Sterling Kodai Lake?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Sterling Kodai Lake?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Sterling Kodai Lake have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Sterling Kodai Lake?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Sterling Kodai Lake have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Sterling Kodai Lake?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Sterling Kodai Lake?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
