I had a wonderful stay at The Chettinad Heritage, enjoying the colorful decor and authentic atmosphere reminiscent of the Chettiar family’s past. The food was good, especially the Chicken 65! However, the cleanliness of the floors could be improved, as I noticed dirt while walking barefoot. Overall, this place is a lovely experience for anyone wanting to explore Chettinad culture. 🌺😊
