I had a really nice room on the 9th floor overlooking the tennis courts with a great sunrise and sundown view. It was a large, clean room that seemed nearly new, was very comfortable. The pool looked nice, the gym was old and rickety but adequate, but no air conditioning made it difficult to do a good workout. Right across the street from the rear entrance to the mall with all kinds of places to eat and grocery stores. I was told that the canal at the back of the building is a very nice and inexpensive way to get downtown. I saw some bicyclists turn around there also, so maybe a bike trail along the canal. Of many hotels in this price range I've stayed at in Thailand, this is one of the two best ones. Free wi-fi didn't work with my pc or cell phone. A wonderfully quiet place, great staff
