I stayed 7 days here. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. There are some small issues, but nothing to put someone off on staying here. One comment I hear about hotels in Thailand is water pressure and the lack of hot water. Here is a hint for those traveling in Thailand. If the hotel uses a wall mounted heater exchange, to get hotter water, reduce the water pressure going through the unit/ You do not usually lose much water pressure, but the water does heat up better. The location is pretty good for this hotel. There is a 7-11 next door, a supermarket around the corner, plenty of medium priced and mom/pop restaurants, a church campus a block and half away, and two blocks to the night market. If you are venturing into the old city, you can hike to it, but most would want to take a grab or maxim ride. Breakfast is nothing to write home about, but it does get you off to a good start in the mornings. the coffee cafe is a bit over-priced in my opinion. Internet had some disconnect problems if you are on your computer for a while. Simply restart the computer and it should restart. We did have an earthquake that began in Myanmar about 130 km. Building swayed. Nothing to get concerned about, but adds to the Chiang Mai story when talking to friends. I loved walking along the river, crossing the bridges, seeing the governor's house, and strolling through the side streets. Going to church on Sunday was a nice addition to my trip, meeting the pastor and the great people who came to service at 4:30 pm. The restaurant by the river near the hotel had some really good pad thai. It was fun listening to the Thai singers muddling their way through songs like Puff the Magic Dragon and other folk songs. For more of western flair food, Duke's is just a block away. Reasonably priced and good food for medium prices. For the price and location, this is a great choice. I wonder about the negative reviews offered. Perhaps they had higher expectations. Perhaps they should have paid to stay ar the Marriott a few blocks away, but maybe they would have found something to complain about there too. In Thailand, you have to have a completely different way of thinking. Bringing your home expectations with you will not serve you well in this culture. You need to be flexible, open-minded, and realize that you are a guest in their home, and not the other way around. If you keep this in mind, you stay will be much more enjoyable.
