Alternative to Marriott for 3/4 weeks ?

[kanjana]

I am having a little trouble getting extended decent rates in late January and might be forced to look for alternatives.

 

I don't want a room above a bar in LK Metro.

 

It has to be visitor friendly.

 

I don't think I want a condo because I want someone to sort out the bed, linen, towels etc. each day.

 

Don't want to be stuck out of the way e.g.Sheraton, Jomtien etc.

 

Are there any new decent places like the Aspen Suites / Citadines etc. in Bangkok (but in Pattaya obviously !).

have you tried to use www.agoda.com to view options available.......j

Tim - wouldn't go near after joiner fee nonsense reports

Page 10 - need to look at but confusing website

Areca - potential but full on 23rd Jan and 1st Feb

LK - Metropole has no rooms, Renaissance only has the 1 bed and at similar prices to Marriott. Empress way too far down the Beach Road.

Dusit D2 - sure no joiner fees ? Plus Bt9,269 ++  / Bt12,222 ++ per night is taking the piss

 

Thanks though

Both Tim and Areca , charge a JF for a second girl and they must be 20+

Check out @mind resort. Very similar to aspen suites

The fact that they do such a thing would leave me in no doubt that they would never receive a single baht of mine, even if I never had any intention of falling foul of their RULES.

 

It is a rip off, profiteering and has no basis in fact.

Thanks but the location seems way off the beaten path.

check out Dancewatcher.com, they do daily cleaning if you want that service and they certainly have nice rooms.

Yeah, looked at that option but I don't have the advance notice really for their limited selection of properties. He should really sort out that website into something more user friendly with reverse engineering of dates into rooms rather than having to search each room individually. Not difficult database wise.

 

I'll cast another eye over it at the weekend.

Have a look at a place called the Wave, or another called The Stay.

 

I've not stayed at either but a friend stayed at the Wave 4 weeks ago & said it was fine, although some reports say it can have a high number of russians, The Stay has been recommended by another friend, 1800 bht std room 3400 bht for  68sq mtr suite with pool on the roof

Have a look at Sunshine hotel and Residences soi 8 and sabai hotels as there are a few of them.

Dusit D2 - sure no joiner fees ? 

 

At least last year they didn't charge for joiners, no matter I brought back home one or two girls

[moondoggie]

maybe the upcoming political unrest will change the amount of traffic into LOS. It happened before when the protests gained media coverage. I was in Patong during that time and hotel room prices hit rock bottom. I felt sorry for venders 'n such. Just a thought.

I liked the Holiday Inn. 5 star. After 5 nights I never had a joiner fee. Check out Agoda.com.

No fees at the Dusit D2.

No joiner fees in November when I stayed there - but have proabably decided to revert back to the Marriott next trip

I don't think you can beat the Marriott. Good choice! I've stayed there every time, and never had a bad time. Love that front, almost unknown entrance to Beach road. Girls seem to relax when you bring them back to a nice place. Not to mention the 24 hour room service.

Part of the problem may be that Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) falls on Jan. 31 and Pattaya hotels traditionally fill up over that weekend.  Hotels are often unwilling to give discounts for extended stays that include "peak" weekends.  

 

Condos give the best value for money and comfort level for a stay of 3/4 weeks.  If you want daily maid service, that can always be arranged.  Check out www.vtsix.com as an alternative to Dance Watchers.   The Mosaik Apartments (near TukCom) is within easy walking distance of Walking Street and close to the Soi BuKhao baht bus line for LK Metro and points north. LK Royal Suites on Soi BuKhao near Pattaya Klang is another option, as is the August Suites on Klang itself.

Are you sure?Looks like vtsix prices are more than double of DW rooms.

you seem to have quite demanding criteria, but it can all be achieved IF your dates available , from the below

That hasn't been my experience.  When comparing two units of the same size and standard for the same length of time, both are roughly compatible in terms of price.
