We were lied to right from the start. We did not expect 4 or 5 star hotel as we only payed baht for the room. However what we got was not worth baht in fact they could not pay me baht to stay their again. No mention of standard rooms being in this uncompleted part of the renovation was mentioned either on any 3rd party website or the hotel website. Because they have been renovating as of late we assumed we would get a half decent room. The first room we entered smelled badly, was in serious need of maintance.
The rugs were filthy the wall should have been repainted years ago and the air con in the room was as old as the city itself which was dripping water and everytime we walked by we got a drop on the head. So we went back down to the desk to complain. They told us the standard room was in the old part and if we wanted the new part it would be baht. I asked them to show me where on either website where this little detail was mentioned and I got no response.
So the indifferent girl at the desk asked me if I wanted another room. Of course I said Of course I said yes. This one had a new non leaking aircon but the room was as filthy and disgusting as the last but we were desperate as this was during the songkran festival and not many rooms were available in Hat Yai. It's only 2 nights I told my wife and reluctanly we accepted this aweful room. Being on the 3rd floor I looked out the window and saw a stage being set up below our window.
Remembering it was songkran I went down to ask the girl at reception when the festivities were to begin as I did not want to be under the giant speakers as the Thai can only play music at maximum volumes. I was assured by her that festivites were to begin on the night of the 12th even so the music would stop at midnight. We were booked for the 10th and 11th so we thought ok, we will miss the noise as we will be gone to Songkhla town before the partying starts.
That evening we walked up the stairs to our room and past what we thought was a night club called Regazza. No problem I told the wife we are gone in 2 days. The first night went ok but i think my wife slept with her shoes on. In the morning we went for the included breakfast. We were aksed what we wanted and were given 3 choices. One egg half cooked two slices of rock hard tomato and instant coffee.
