Radisson Blu Hotel & Suites GRT Chennai
1. Room was excellent. Enjoyed it! 2. Staff and service - okay, but not excellent. 3. Number of onsite restaurants was limited. But menu choice in those restaurants was great. 4. Very close to the airport. Airport transfer was comfortable. 5. Lobby space seemed small and congested.
