Both the hotel and the area are looking a bit run down since I last stayed there some years ago. This is not a hotel that offers the benefits that international travellers might be seeking - no pool, bar, restaurant, travel desk, etc. so it should be seen as a convenient and inexpensive base for a stay in Chiang Rai but not trendy, romantic or family orientated. Not having a restaurant, they do not do breakfast so it is necessary to go to the food hall at the Big C shopping centre on the other side of the main highway or to one of the little local food shops up the road. Having said that, my stay there was comfortable - the room was a good size, it was accoutered with decent air-con, an electric shower and a fridge. The sleep quality was good and it suited me as a single traveller. One other thing - it is a couple of Km outside the city centre so you need to get acquainted with the public transport options.
