Good room. Clean. Instant hot water. Large double bed. However overlooked main A road so very noisy so had to shut windows. Made room very hot and stuffy. No fan
Also pillows ridiculously large and very hard
Clean room. We had a good bar meal which alsobhas Thai dishes as we were too tired to go to the Star of Siam on the premises. Staff as always were friendly.
