Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great hotel with very amply fitted rooms. Everything was maintained to a high standard and very clean. Staff were always welcoming, especially the pool side staff who introduced themselves by name and were very attentive. Local friends were able to use the valet parking free of charge and there was never a long wait to get their cars back. The property isn’t actually beachfront as the photoshopped image suggests but I wouldn’t recommend going to the local beach anyway. The gym was one of the best I have seen in any hotel in more than 30 countries. Breakfast buffet which I thankfully paid for in advance so it was half the price was good. Not spectacular but being able to trust the food hygiene at breakfast was very reassuring. I had a great stay and would happily go back. Definitely where you should be staying while in Chennai.

Want to take a moment and express my *sincere gratitude* towards the hospitality and the experience I had during my two-night stay. From the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout our stay, everything was great. I’d like to give a *special mention* to *Ms. Semontika* who ensured the surprise my fiancée gave me was special and memorable. Her kindness, professionalism and attention to detail made a difference. Overall, the stay was unforgettable and I/we look forward to visiting again in future. Kindly extend my thanks to Ms. Semontika and the entire staff for making our *LEELA visit wonderful*.
