The location is convenient, just a short walk from the Ambattur Railway Station, and the room itself is clean enough. However, the building could use a fresh coat of paint—some areas are peeling, which makes it feel a bit worn down. The real issue was the staff’s attitude: extremely unhelpful. When I asked for toilet paper, they handed me table napkins instead! While some guests might not use toilet paper, it's still basic hygiene that should be provided. To make matters worse, they tried to charge me for water at check-out. I reminded them about the incident with the napkins and politely refused to pay. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Poor service, lack of attention to detail, and no sense of hospitality. Not worth the price, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
