- The hotel is below the 4-lane at a very busy signal. Also you need to get on to service lane earlier. - You guys will lose a lot of time. Some places you can look at instead: - There is a new A2B at Arcot just a few km before you exit for Tindivanam. Its a new one. - A2B Chinnar after Attibele is very close. - Sai Sangeeth though is about 150 from Silk Board is a much much better hotel (12km on your side after Vanyambadi toll). Depends on how long you guys want to drive you want to break. - Also the Chinnar A2B wont be ready with food very early. Expect delays. | |
