Rani and Rani Residency is a good and comfortable stay. The bang for the buck. Of course, cars will have to be parked on the street, however, with CCTV cameras in place and the street all to themselves, cars and bikes are safe. The location is nice. Closer to Serenity Beach, lots of eateries within walkable reach. The in-house restaurant is a plus, with great food at reasonable prices on the menu. The staff was very respectful and courteous. They helped us with any query we had, including guiding to attractions around the city. Look for Vignesh, Thiru or Vicky, they're always happy to help.
