checked in at 2 am and workers...
checked in at 2 am and workers were there to help out with no problems. room was simple and clean. TV had a couple good stations. Bathroom very simple, but everything was there. Water didn't get as hot as I like, but it wasn't cold. Only saw one bug, but I live in Hawaii, and roaches are very common. Had internet access. It was 24 hours, but rather pricey, at 150 baht an hour (about four dollars), but a nice convenience.
I found that if I put my laptop in a certain spot in my room (I was on the 7th floor) I could pick up free wireless. Another thing is this hotel is on a different voltage, so you need an adapter. Another hotel in a different part of town had US voltage, but this one didn't. I bought an adapter from a lantern street vender for 75cents. Be careful with the tuk tuk drivers. He had said 30 baht and I said I was just going around the corner and we agreed on 15 baht for him to take me about four blocks, and I said one five,fifteen, and used my hands and said it more than once. But when he got there he tried to say 50. When I told him that's not what we agreed on he took off at about 70 miles an hour and took me in a big circle back where I came from. He was totally f***ing with me, sice his origonal price had been 30. Another driver saw what happened and came and picked me up while I was walking. Just don't let them screw with you. I would stay there again, if I was going to do things in that neighborhood. It is near a lot of the smellier parts of town though. Breakfast is simple, with fruit and 'sausage' (more like hot dogs), ham, frenck toast, and eggs. Nothing to rave over. Everyone was really friendly. But never get a cab from the front of a hotel stand. They will charge you an arm and whatever else they can get from you. It's more fun to walk past the stand and make them mad, and walk to the street and see who will pick you up. Make sure they will do meter before you get in. It was deffinitly worth the 23 dollars I paid. Don't let ignorant whiners make you think this is a crappy hotel.
