"Here’s a 250-word, casual Google Maps–style review for Citi Luxe Hotel, Chennai: --- I stayed at **Citi Luxe Hotel** recently, and overall, I’d say it’s a decent *basic* hotel, but with a few things you should be aware of. The rooms are okay for a short stay, but the housekeeping isn’t done daily unless you specifically ask for it. Same story with the towels — they won’t replace them unless you request. Even the small room amenities like tea, coffee, sugar, and creamer sachets aren’t refilled...
