Ramachandran
Clean, large, and well equipped with a comfortable bed. The breakfast is very good and the staff is very helpful. The front desk staff quickly arranged a comfortable car with a safe and accommodating driver to go around the city for 15 hours for a reasonable rate.

This hotel was very good comparable to other 4/5-star hotels in the area with a much better price. Staff were always courteous and helpful. Restaurants and food variety was excellent. Poolside restaurant had a great selection of American cuisine. Breakfast buffet was great. Provision of free water bottles everyday and minor details like weighing machine in room is a boon for foreign visitors.
