I recently stayed at this hotel while traveling and found it to be a solid choice. The rooms were clean, cozy, and had a spacious layout, perfect for unwinding. Plus, the facilities like the pool and hot tub were a delightful bonus for my group. However, the location on the main road did come with some inevitable traffic noise.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While it was very clean and had a nice pool, the noise from the trucks outside kept me up all night, which was quite frustrating. The loft space was unique and my kids enjoyed the adventure of the ladder, but the broken window in the bedroom made it difficult to sleep. Overall, it has some good amenities but could use improvements in soundproofing.

I had a great stay at this park hotel while visiting Ratana Pa. The accommodations were spacious and perfect for my family, including a cozy upstairs area for the kids. We enjoyed the lovely swimming pool and the prompt service during check-in. However, I did have some trouble with another guest who parked their truck blocking our parking space, which was a little frustrating. Overall, it was an affordable and comfortable place for us to stay.

My stay had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and tidy, which I appreciated, but the noise from the trucks outside was disturbing, particularly at night. The owners were incredibly friendly and really helped me out during a tough time. The pool area looked great, but I didn't get a chance to try it. Overall, I found it to be decent value for money, but it certainly has some issues that need addressing.

I stayed in a clean and tidy place, which had nice facilities like a pool and spa. However, the noise from trucks outside was pretty bad, especially with a broken window in the bedroom that kept us awake. The ladder access to the loft felt unsafe for kids, which is something to consider if you're traveling with family.

Rooms

The room was clean and had a cozy double bed, and the loft was an exciting adventure for the kids despite the ladder being a bit unstable.
Service

While the property had good facilities, I didn't have much interaction with the staff for services like housekeeping, so I'm not sure how that aspect was.

The hotel is right off State Highway 1, which made it easy to find and close to the town center, but being so close to a busy road meant a lot of truck noise.
