I had a really mixed experience at this hotel. While my initial stay was pleasant with clean rooms and tasty food, my second visit was quite disappointing due to issues with the room and the noise from the busy highway right outside. The value for money was decent for the cleanliness, but the sound levels and some service aspects definitely need improvement.

Rooms
6.0
The rooms were clean and tidy, but the deluxe suite I stayed in had a tiny window and was somewhat gloomy. The automatic lock malfunctioning was also frustrating.
Service

The service was hit or miss; while they did help me with a room change, the front desk staff could be more courteous.
Location

The location is right on Highway 113, which is a major downside due to the constant noise from traffic.
Dining

The dining experience could be improved; the rooftop restaurant was too noisy for relaxing meals, and the menu options were misleading.

Staying here was quite an experience. The location on Highway 113 was quite noisy, which made it difficult to relax. While the service was decent and I appreciated the effort from the staff, the room I stayed in was cramped with limited toiletries and a troubling lack of cleanliness. Ultimately, I found the experience to be more frustrating than enjoyable.

Rooms

The room was very small, giving a compact feeling. It was not well-kept, with stained bed sheets and a lack of basic amenities like a tea maker.

This hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay, especially in the executive rooms, but it fell short in terms of service and location. The fitness facilities are outdated, which was disappointing for a fitness enthusiast. However, the food quality is commendable, making it a decent option if you're in the area for work.

My stay at the Grand Residence in Porur was mixed. On the bright side, the rooms looked just like the pictures and the service was quick, especially the food which was fantastic, particularly the dal makhani. However, the lack of clarity about taxes on prices and the absence of a pool were disappointing. Also, some staff seemed to struggle with English, which made communication challenging at times.

I had mixed feelings about my stay here. On one hand, the hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff does try to help. The breakfast was delightful and the rooms were spacious. On the downside, the bathroom needed pest control, and there were some issues with cleanliness in my room. Overall, it's a decent spot but with a few improvements needed to truly impress.

Rooms
