I attended here for a business meeting with about 200 guests. Horrible hotel even without basic functionalities in order. As you enter you are greeted with a strong smell of mosquito spray. The washrooms are dis functional and urinals overflow. There are frequent power failures in Chennai, the hotel has no back up. Food is average and the staff has... More
