Le Stay inn

Le Stay Inn is a budget hotel on Bells Road in Chepauk, Chennai, close to the MA Chidambaram cricket stadium and a short ride from Marina Beach. It is booked through OYO and is a plain mainstream hotel; it is listed here as gay-friendly, but there is no specific LGBTQ angle to it. Expect basic rooms at low prices, with standards that vary between rooms, which the 3.8 Google rating from around 500 reviews reflects. The location is practical for Triplicane, the stadium and the beach road. India decriminalised same-sex relations in 2018, but public attitudes in Chennai remain conservative, so most couples keep things low-key in hotel lobbies and public spaces.
