- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Mixed reviews on facilities — While some guests loved the gym and pool, others gave lower ratings, and a few stays found the experience less outstanding than the hotel's typical reviews.
- Average overall rating despite many positive reviews — The hotel's overall rating of 7.4 is decent but not top-tier for the area, and it ranks 352 out of 1413 properties in Chennai.
