PARK INN LODGE sits 879 metres from the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Velankanni - approximately an 11-minute walk or a short auto-rickshaw ride along Main Road. The lodge holds a 5-star rating from 1 guest on Google Maps and is marked operational, making it one of the options worth considering for pilgrims who want straightforward accommodation near the shrine. Its location on the main road keeps travel simple, whether you are heading out for the morning Holy Mass or returning after the evening procession.
Location
The lodge stands at 91, Main Road, Velankanni, Tamil Nadu 611111 - on the primary artery that runs through the pilgrimage town. Main Road is familiar territory for most pilgrims; it connects the bus stand area to the basilica and is lined with lodges, eateries, and small shops catering to visiting devotees.
At 879 metres, the basilica is reachable on foot in about 11 minutes at an easy pace. Pilgrims who prefer not to walk - particularly those visiting during the hot afternoon hours or after long travel - can flag an auto-rickshaw from outside the lodge for a fare of roughly ₹20–40 for the short ride.
The surrounding area has access to pharmacies, vegetarian restaurants, and shops selling candles, rosaries, and other devotional items, which is helpful for pilgrims arriving without time to prepare in advance.

What Guests Say
PARK INN LODGE has received one review on Google Maps, awarding a full 5-star rating. With only a single review on record, a broad summary of guest experience is not possible. The 5-star score reflects one positive visit, but prospective guests should treat it as a limited data point rather than an established pattern.
Pilgrims planning longer stays or travelling in larger groups are encouraged to seek more established properties with a higher volume of reviews for a clearer picture of consistency. That said, a perfect score - however limited - suggests the stay met the guest’s expectations on that occasion.
