Hotel Maris has been our home away from home for Chennai visits since 2013. The price is so right (actually very good) and the location is perfect.
The rooms have had some upgrade done. The toilets are very well done. Except the flush. The flush doesn't seem to work. Still a few things would be nice.
* Door keys could become scan keys.
* More power ports esp on the other side of the bed with a small side table.
* Better cable and remote.
* change the archaic switches and fan control
" make the AC controls better (the touch screen is not working well), maybe an AC remote.
Be prepared to have a local phone number if you need the Wi-Fi password. There is no other way for them to send the password other than to an Indian mobile number. That sucks if you have a foreign mobile number.
The onsite laundry is fine. Be prepared to pay separately for the laundry in cash.
The restaurant downstairs is the best. Good vegetarian food and at a very reasonable price. Extra food options on weekends.
The mini store downstairs is very well stocked for all your needa, from toiletries to snacks to soft drinks to energy drinks to water to coffee/tea powders from their estates.
The front desk staff are very helpful. The ladies in the morning are always smiling and go the extra mile to help or answer your questions. Nice to see them when you come down in the morning - they brighten up your day.
Overall, great place.

Overall, great place.
Great ambience. Very efficient waitresses. Clean environment. Can be busy even on weekdays.
Coming to the menu: very large selection. Everyone can find something or another. This time, we tried from their specials. Crying Tiger - beef salad with chilli lime dressing, mint, etc. Wow! Very flavorful. We also had the Crispy Basil Chicken. Then our staple - Phad Thai. Everything was tasty, freshly made and the portions were generous.
Finally, we tried the Fried Bananas with two scoops of ice cream. A perfect ending.
The price is right, as well.
