took the 389 from the airport n was dropped off at the bus company office opp pan pan restaurant about a couple of km's from the hotel .walked in at 11pm and was well received by the guy at the reception,check in was quick n done with a smile n immediately handed over the key card n the wifi password. wasn't carryin enough thai currency n on requesting, the gentleman was kind enough to let me pay the next day. the hotel is located on jomtien beach road which was quiet n more family oriented...... a far cry from what the pattaya beach road is about.would recommend people with families to stay here.tthe lobby has a nautical theme.reception staff was helpful n informative. no lift n no one to carry your luggage so would advise taking up a lower floor room if you're carryin a lot of luggage.the rooms are a decent size with aircon,tv, a well stocked mini bar and a safe. the bathrooms are pretty small but functional n you are provided with soap,shampoo etc. i was stayin in a garden view (202)n the room is little oddlly shaped with a view of an empty lot n not much of a garden from any angle. the hotel has a restaurant which served good food but the breakfast was nothing to write home about. sadly everywhere in thailand i've been noticing the limited variety of local thai food on the menus, understandably to cater to more western tastes ,so you can get everything from a ribeye to ........ when you exit the hotel n turn right, there are family marts n 7-11's along with a lot of restaurants along the beach road. u can hire bikes at soi 5 n soi 7......or simply hire the bhat bus to get about.
jomtien beach has coarse sand n the water is murky but much cleaner than pattaya beach .
all in all a good place to stay considerin the value , location n the cleanliness. would definitely come back again.
