I must have stayed in this hotel about 15 times in the last decade or more. I have hardly anything negative to say about it. Defining Expectations Woodlands is a hotel which gets everything right – hygiene, food (taste and quality), laundry, billing processes, taxi availability, reasonable pricing, amenities, and much more. It even has a swimming pool (though not functioning in October 2022). But, it makes no pretenses about what it does not offer. If you are looking for luxury or opulence, Woodlands is not for you. If you are looking for an extremely efficient industrial establishment of a hotel, look no further. There will likely be some mild annoyances, but no deal-breakers. Pricing The rooms are reasonably priced. In fact, I suspect that people would be willing to offer more. I have stayed almost exclusively in their Deluxe Suites, which have a small sitting room in front and a reasonably large bedroom inside. On my latest trip in the middle of October 2022, this worked out to a little more than ₹3,500 per night. Food is reasonably priced too. For the kind of menu it offers, you would think that the food could be cheaper. However, I am not complaining because the standards of hygiene and quality fully justify the prices. Unlike in the fancier hotels, laundry too doesn’t feel obscenely expensive. So no complaints on pricing particularly considering its prime location. Rooms I will only describe the deluxe suites because I have mostly only stayed there. These rooms are in one section of the hotel, most of which has been renovated. The unrenovated rooms have some charm because they have old-style mosaic flooring and the rooms keys show Woodlands as being in “Madras” and not “Chennai.” It feels like going back into the 1980s. The sitting room and the bedroom each have an AC. As I said, no pretenses of luxury. So you can either turn the AC on or off; there is no temperature control, there are no fan speeds, etc. The renovated rooms have what appears to be vitrified flooring. None of the rooms have king/ queen beds; they all have twin beds which are placed right next to each other. I found the sofas in the sitting uncomfortable, and I am of average Indian height. I presume they must be more comfortable if you’re taller, but I suspect you’ll be in a knees-up position. The bedroom has but one chair, which I think is insufficient for a room of its size. There are two bedside tables, one on each side of the beds. They are of ideal height and space and are positioned conveniently under the switchboards and a plug point. Overall, most things in the room are exactly where you would like them to be or expect them to be. The ACs are floor mounted, so you can keep small things like wallets and car keys atop the ACs, if the massive room doesn’t somehow offer you enough convenient storage space. Across most of one side of the room is a wall-mounted counter that must be about 10-12 feet long. A sufficient television occupies one side of it, a tea kettl
