I have stayed here maybe 5 times over the last 2 years. It's not 5 star but it is a nice place, safe and close to the excitement of Pattaya. Rooms are all the same, so really no upgrades available. They have closed the restaurant, but that is no problem with so many places to eat beside the hotel. They need to upgrade gym, old and machines need to be replaced. Pool is great, staff wonderful and really great hotel for the price. I would suggest this place for the price, you get more than you pay for. Understand, you want 5 star in Pattaya, you will pay for it. If you want a really good place to stay and not costing 5 star prices, this is the place to stay.
