Hotel Tamil Nadu   is on station Rd, a quite leafy back street near the railway station. It's not one of the tourism department's best. There's a bar and simple restaurant.

Baboo Soorya Hotel  85, East Raja Veethy is the swankiest hotel in town. Clean well-appointed singles/doubles with effective air-con. The hotel has a good vegetarian restaurant. You can get non-veg food in your room.
