Top hotels in Semmencherry
Fairfield by Marriott Chennai OMR
The hotel is excellent in their services. Clean and tidy rooms, all amenities working and a polite staff. However the location of this hotel is not very convenient with respect to other key attractions in the city and booking a cab is horribly hard due to lack of availability.
