I just can`t make my mind up about this hotel, i have stayed here a few times due to lack of other hotels in the vacinity, i even got married there a few years ago!
No problem with check in but they demanded an extra 300 baht for an extra bed in the room which turned out to be an old put you up type bed.
The rooms are awful, old and tired, i had i stain on my sheet that was ingrained, the sheets had clearly been cleaned, the same on my next set of sheets but because it looked sterile i put up with it. The tv had a poor reception and was the old box type of tv.
I had the deluxe room at 1,400 baht a night for three people with breakfast which at these prices was a disgrace, i could have got a standard room for 450 baht plus the extra bed.
The breakfast is an absolute disgrace...they put the fried eggs out and let them go cold, the "ham" was swimming in luke warm water...and no bacon in site but the tea and toast was o.k!.......but in fairness if you asked them to cook you some fresh eggs they would but they were also happy to let you eat the stone cold ones.
The restaurant is not geared for westeners but the food was reasonable cooked to order.
I found the laundry very good, same day service and reasonably priced.
The reception organised a pick up truck to take us to the airport due to the volume of luggage and were very helpful....i paid in cash for the stay after my card problems the time before.
This used to be a grand hotel and still has a lot of functions and is clearly at the heart of the community....i always feel very relaxed here and have a soft spot for the place, the night club underneath is good and the hotel is central to the town, however i will be investigating a "new" hotel which i belive has been opened about a year on the outskirts of town, before i book next time....which i am told has a nice pool, lacking at JP
