Satisfactory Stay Overall

friendly staffgreat locationcomfortable roomunwelcoming atmospheredated areaslate check in
The staff were friendly. The breakfast was varied and delicious. The room was very comfy and tidy. I found the location to be great for accessing the showground.
The owner didn't seem too happy when we arrived early. The hotel opened at 4 PM. I felt the main areas looked dated. The ground floor seemed unwelcoming. I think checking in should start earlier.

Really good Stay Experience

cute staffthai dinnerquality breakfastlight sensor
The staff were very cute. They really accommodated my needs. I had a thai dinner that i consider lively. The provided breakfast had excellent taste and quality (especially the sausages!).
The light sensor in the restroom cubicle was unfortunately located outside, resulting in the light switching off while i was inside the cubicle.

Fantastic Stay Near the Showground

warm welcomeamazing foodsmall bath
The staff was lovely and cute upon our late arrival. A kind man handled our check-in and showed us our room. The pillows were comfortable. I also appreciated the Thai food it was amazing and the breakfast was cracking.
The rooms weren't big, and the bath was small. It wasn't suited for bigger people. We had to all share one double bed, difficult. I wish it was different.

The room included soft white towels. Plug sockets were next to the bed and very useful. I found a good choice of tea and coffee provided too. The hotel also has plenty of toiletries for guest.
The bathroom door did not close in my room. The toilet seat was loose as well. I noted that the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall.
