I travel a lot and have stayed at a lot of 2 and 3 star hotels in lots of places (Cairo, Mumbai, Mexico City, Casablanca, etc.) and am fairly forgiving in my standards, but this hotel was utterly disappointing and by far the worst place we stayed while in India. The lobby is pretty nice and the location is good (Central Chennai a couple of km from the Central Train Station), but after that it goes downhill. It was poorly maintained (desperately in need of some paint, cleaning of the walls, etc.), VERY noisy (between train tracks and a busy street + lots of loud Indian families with kids staying on our floor and the walls were paper thin, plus a fairly large gap under the door to the hallway) and, worst of all, it had serious electrical issues. The power would go off several times. We were there 2 nights and the power went off about 6 - 10 times per night. We also used the roll of toilet paper after the first night and they didn't even bother to replenish it the second day when they did the room. Skip this place and try your luck somewhere else.
