If Maehongson has a 'grand dame' of a hotel, this is it. It's the largest hotel and in theory the one local hotel that can offer full service options - catering for meeting and banquets/ receptions that are often held here by government officials. It arguably has the most beautiful and largest large pool in MHS, overshadowed by tall teak trees - very peaceful to swim in and/or just look out at from your poolside room. Rooms are large with comfortable sitting areas - AND as others have commented, they feel dated and somewhat worn - but they are clean and quiet, each with a decent sized balcony and I believe most rooms have a bathtub! Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Most surprising to me was that the wifi was strong and worked great the entire stay. I did not expect this. I appreciate the wood floors and furnishings throughout the hotel. I was given an early check in which was so appreciated. A basic buffet was available the first day with made to order eggs as well as fruit, cereals and Thai options. On my 2nd day, the buffet options disappeared and it was just made to order eggs and cereal/toast/fruit/coffee and tea - apparently the buffet only happens if there are over 30 guests and this being the green season, numbers are down. Staff were helpful and friendly and there is an onsite massage available. The hotel is just outside of town so not really walkable into town - but if you have your own transport, this is a great option. And it is a great option if you just need a peaceful break from a mostly full service hotel with a beautiful pool. Long stay rates are also available beginning at 9000 baht a month currently.
Very Good
