This is the place to come to get ripped off. The first time I got angry in 2 months in SEA. Night 1- it became apparent at 11.30 that the A/C was not working and it was hot. The caretaker said he could not leave his desk so we had to get dressed, pack up and move a floor down. They had probably forgotten to switch on the condenser.
Complained next day, suggesting compensation. Not listening.
Next, they agreed to keep 2 bags for a day away for us. No charge mentioned. She demanded 200 baht on our return. I suggested that could be our compensation. She resisted for over 5 minutes, eventually calling the manager who agreed. We were flying out next day. We got food poisoning so sought medical help. We fully cleared the room and left our 2 bags by the door to seek medical help. We returned after 12 to leave with our bags, and she accepted the key on which there was a 500 baht deposit against loss, asked me to sign a receipt for the money and then refused to give it to me because it was after 12. There were no signs about check out time nor had she said it. When I took back the receipt book, she said she would call the police. We needed to get on our plane, so I said I would report this on the web. No response. Her English is fine. I also observed that she denied there were 1000 baht rooms available when there were in order to sell off the 1200 ones first.

Unique Quality: This is the place to come to get ripped off.
