I found this to be a very nice hotel, modern, clean, quiet, well-appointed, comfortable. The room was large, with a lovely little balcony. The staff were very sweet and accommodating, though most of them do not speak a great deal of English, which is not surprising, since the hotel is not in an area frequented by a lot of western tourists. There's a great little, modern food court with many different food stalls just across the street, and another a couple of blocks away. Again, this is not a tourist area, so there's not a lot of English spoken at either one, and the food menus are almost all written entirely in Thai, so it helps to be adventurous. There are not a lot of other food options close by in the area, at least not that I could see. It struck me as an area most frequented by Thai business travelers, perhaps. Bottom line, you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer hotel for the price. I was there to work so I thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and the quiet. And the koi pond is lovely.
