Pai Viceroy

At just about INR 2,500 a night, Pai Viceroy is an old favourite for those who frequent this town. Equipped with a vegetarian restaurant called Plantain Leaf, and a themed-multi-cuisine one, called Gufha (of course, cave is the theme!), you can eat, take a nap in the afternoon, then explore the town as it’s not too far. Better yet, chill at the hotel, then walk around the hilly area in the evening. Since it’s right on the Tirumala bypass road, you can get that extra half hour of sleep in the morning before setting off to the temple.
