The Raintree, St. Mary's Road

Really excellent stay in suite room. They can add beds for extra guests in living area. Also very comfortable sofa and can get extra duvet. Main bedroom in suite really super : so comfortable and quiet with plenty of space and super size bed. Great bathroom and good linen but no bath. I’ve stayed in Raintree many times in standard deluxe rooms but this suite was exceptional and not too expensive compared to other normal rooms in 5stars hotels in Chennai, but way better. I’ve stayed in most of Chennai 5 stars in last 15 years. Breakfast and dinner buffet also way better than most of 5 star hotels. So delicious and great staff. Only two downsides. This hotel used to have a nice roof top pool with Buddha statue at one end and was very peaceful. Now they have made the pool smaller and removed the Buddha to add more restaurant tables. Very sad. Now like kids paddling pool. Swimming not possible now. Also management need to check all bookings clearly as tried to deny me dinner buffet and guests happy hour drinks I had already paid for. No apology from manager afterwards, or after hotel fire alarm went off in early hours! Did give a few hours late checkout after requesting it. Much appreciated as room so comfortable! With massive TV. Like own cinema. Overall highly recommend suite if a few guests. Make sure to get dinner and happy hours package for all guests on Hotels.com. And bring copy of booking. Very good value. Highly recommended overall.
