I was really impressed by the size and cleanliness of the room, the Lanna Thai furnishings, the comfortable king bed, the budget price, and the friendly hotel staff, MOST of who could speak English! I have stayed all over Thailand and even in the most touristed areas, often staff speak little English. They were all so accommodating as well, especially the front desk staff. The hotel is very convenient to the Airport Central Plaza across the road. A bit difficult getting local transportation, but can do from the mall across the street. The free buffet breakfast was just OK, nothing special and not always hot. I intended to stay only two nights but due to circumstances I stayed another 3, and thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing time. I was not in Chiang Mai as a tourist, and have been here many times before, so convenience in getting to tourist venues was not on my radar. Having a comfortable place to hang out was. I would easily stay here again.
