We picked the hotel because it was downtown and walkable, convenient for all the sites. It was expensive for that reason, but the quality didn't match the price. The shower made a choking noise, the air conditioner kept turning off and on as it searched the right temperature and made it hard to sleep (and turning it down so it would be consistent didn't help), and we ended up on a floor of rambunctious middle school kids who were incredibly loud and annoying. We could hear everything through the door. The price didn't match the experience. It was like paying a luxury price for a low rate experience. Oh, and they charged for parking and didn't give free breakfast. Talk about low of low.

One day room services was trying to get it done at about 6pm, next day, they never showed up even after me having called reception to let them know. Restaurant that they advertise to have as part of the hotel had closed access from inside the hotel and the. The terrace area was alaways closed and eas told was only used for events. Will never stay at Thai hotel if I ever return to this area. Not worth the mi ey. Hotel is on the older side and the only thing I did appreciate was the quitness.

This is a great place to stay. A little above our budget but we are so glad we made this choice. Parking in the lot next door that is run by the city. But it wasn't too expensive. We were able to walk all over the city without much effort. The Central Market is only a couple of blocks way.

This is a tired and dirty hotel. Would not recommend to family and friends. Although the bed was comfortable, the room was noisy. Walls seemed thin and could hear dogs barking a very loud traffic outside. Reported that our refrigerator was not working and was making noises. No maintenance available according to staff. The check in area was sticky and dirty. Floors throughout the hotel needed to be vacuumed and showed signs of wear.
