Hotel's Favorite
One of the finest displays of efficient and personalised hospitality. The rooms to the public areas to everything was maintained very well. The cherry on the cake is quick service in food and beverage. The dosas were lovely. This seems to be a place run very well along with a great leader cause every single aspect of the stay was smooth personalized and seamless.

Rooms are really compact. Just adequate for one person to go to bed, and store 2-3 bags for a 14-day stay. The WiFi is strong and consistent to get work done in the late evenings.
I used the mini fridge to store yoghurt cups and fruits which helped me maintain my diet.
The breakfast spread is sumptuous, staff are mostly courteous and helpful. Shoutout to Shahrukh (If I remember his name correctly) for helping me get a breakfast smoothie for most of my stay here!
You can do your own laundry here, that's a huge plus. Used the small gym in the mornings to do my Shambhavi Kriya and Hatha Yoga workouts.
Room service is pretty prompt in replacing water bottles, towels and cleaning up.
P.S Cut my hand while doing yoga in the room, the staff was super kind in giving first aid. Also, cabs were available to drop me off to office and pick me back up in the evenings as well. Decent parking space available, was able to park my bike safely.
P.P.S Quite a few good restaurants nearby if you want to eat out.

The Holiday Inn Express on the OMR road in Chennai is a world class facility. The check in staff was fantastic - shout out to Ashutosh. The rooms are well equipped, washroom amenities are sufficient and showers are fantastic. Beds and beddings are super comfortable. Self serve laundry service has high class washers and dryers. Breakfast buffet also has good variety and is quality food. Would come back here if and when I visit Chennai again.

Me & my colleague stayed at this property on 7th Jan to 8th Jan. Checked in at 7pm. We booked 2 queen bed rooms, however we were given 1 queen bed and 1 twin bed. On asking reason they initially put on us that they received booking that way. We pulled out confirmation from Makemytrip and shown at reception. They were speechless when we shown they booking paper. We are still unable to understand why they didn't gave us room as per commitment. Most annoying is blame of 'we received booking that way' was initially put on customer.
Hotel room is too small. Bathroom is smallest bathroom I have ever seen. Toilet glass and wall have 1 inch gap. Overall if you are looking at only budget, this hotel is okay.

The hotel’s staff are all very accommodating and approachable. I love also that they have a DIY laundry room especially for someone like me who stayed there for a long period of time. I think the only one aspect that they should try to improve is their breakfast buffet, since I think they have almost the same menu every morning.

I have checked in this hotel 2 days back and still staying for one more night. The room is clean, but when the house keeping cleans the room they take away the bath towel. Then again we need to request. Anybody planning to stay there please make sure the complimentary breakfast is waste it like giving food to beggars. Idli full dry, paratha fully burnt. You don't get anything to eat. It is better you starve than eating such horrible food. This was todays breakfast. Yesterday same instead of paratha it was poori and that also u need a grinder to eat. Nothing is there what you feel to eat. You will also feel that you are in a place where you don't get proper food. This is Chennai and food should be excellent especially South Indian. The maintenance is very bad. The door of the bath room creates a big sound when I close. I am praying that I should checkout fast. I will never suggest this hotel to anybody and will not stay in this hotel.

Compact rooms are priced at reasonable and that too located at OMR and Staff respect, response, work are clean and good service. Most of things in room for essential use are kept. But rooms are smaller and based on price range room size varies. If you are single take lower price.
