Hotel Manickam Grand

We required a room for just a few hours before taking a flight from Chennai, We booked this place from an outlet at Chennai Airport and was advised that it was "only 2 star, but very comfortable, good quality and would provide transport back to the airport when required". When we arrived, the man at reception took a while to understand that we had booked and paid for the room. When we got to the room, a filthy towel was outside the bathroom, the decor was dowdy and there was no soap or toilet paper. When we were leaving, the car which was booked had not been organised and when it was, we were told that we had to pay. The charge was double the standard fare from the airport. The one thing which did work well was WIFI.

Since i dont find a negative star rating im giving 1 star. The staff at the reception was so rude and he didn't respect the guests and treated like as if we are staying free of cost. I had to cancel the booking and look for another hotel. worst hotel ive ever visited

My experience at this hotel is very bad. Right from check-in and stay. The person who was assisting at reception was not trained well. Room-lobby every thing stinks badly. You get a feeling like you are in some hospital. Un bearable cigarette smell inside the room. more than 1000 for a single room stay is too high

We were pointed in the direction of this hotel for lunch by our nearby hotel that did not have a restaurant . Walked in we were the only diners and it felt eerie . The staff were openly joking about us and snickering at us looking at the menu as if we would not understand it . We promptly got up and left followed out by one of the staff who was oblivious to their own behaviour . Glad we left as found a super place further down the road which was packed with locals and we were treated like royalty ( well at least as human beings ) because they do not get tourists in there and the food was great .Yaa Mohideen Byriyani I would not recommend this dump to anyone at least the restaurant .

It's nice I came with my kids and the hotel was nice..there are lot of negative reviews but I feel the hotel is nice and the staff there are really helpful. The food is also nice and it fits in my budget as well
