Taj Coromandel
Everything was great! Room, staff, amenities. Special thanks to the doorman Yuvraj for sourcing an umbrella for me multiple times. To anyone going for a US visa thing (bio, int). It's a bit of a pain to walk to the consulate/biometric place because roads are dug up. But not too bad, about 15 minutes ...
