Since I asked or stayed recently posting this here. Very little info about it elsewhere. 

Ibis - very friendly. Have stayed there no issues. Take IDs and recently have started asking for signatures + names from girls. Little strange but takes 2 mins and I guess more security and safety. Hotel itself is decent, rooms and washrooms are small. Breakfast and food sucks. Only book it if you have a small stash of points and are really tight on budget. For 1000 points a night I mean I guess I should not complain. 

 

Mercure - they confirmed it is guest friendly and no joiner fee. Haven't stayed here, might do soon because the other option is ibis. Rooms of course are again small from what I have seen. Seems overpriced at 2500-3000 baht for low season. If not for my points I would rather stay at amethyst for the same price. 

 

Pullman - 1000 THB joiner fee. Cancelled my booking. Real shame because I wanted to experience Wong amat once. And the hotel is going for around 2500 baht a night/3000 points. I would have gotten early check in late check out room upgrade free breakfast and free lounge access. I am suitably pissed.

Movenpick and Veranda - I have two suite nights pending which I was maybe intending to burn here but holding off since they are so fucking far out. Movenpick is guest friendly. Veranda asks for 1500B joiner fee lol. Both confirmed by enail Goodbye.

Have you stayed there? How is the hotel breakfast and service? The gym? I have a tentative booking in a few weeks if I manage to sort some things out here at home.

I stayed here last week. I don't know about the gym, breakfast was ok.

Staff are great. It is guest friendly. They'll take the girls ID, but I've taken girls without checking them in.

Great location, quiet. Rooms are  small, but ok if you're travelling alone.

Yes I already stayed and had guests in and out with ease. Bro the rooms are twice the size of what I get in buakhao come on 😂 

 

Oops I was talking about the Pullman here. Yes the Mercure rooms seem small.

Misread the hotel name

I am Gold with Accor. When I book the Mercure, I book the Deluxe Seaview and get upgraded every time to the Suite with seaview (Topfloor). Breakfast is ok, but I usually book the room without it. Gym is small. I use the threadmill there so I can say nothing about the rest of the equipment. But you get a outside view witch is nice. I don't like the pool, too many children making noise. That is the reason I don't stay there anymore, last time was 2 years ago.

For Girls, I told them to wait on one of the sofas just to the right of the entrance. I pick them up there and direct up to the room.

While I’ve never written a hotel asking their policy, do you confirm if a joiner fee applies to #2 or #3+? I mean, if you’ve registered the room for 2, then that means two guests and that is what you’re paying for … the third or more are visitors which would be subject to a joiner fee, at least that’s how I understand the policy at most hotels.

Again, I never asked and have never paid a joiner fee anywhere I’ve stayed.

I mentioned in my query that I have booked for 2 and will be staying alone. Usually the hotels which are 1+1 friendly mention that a third person will be charged extra, if applicable

Because you're booking a room for 2, that doesn't necessarily give you the right to have a daily joiner visiting you. I you insist, a hotel can demand that you are checking your visitor in as a staying guest, And will not allow that you're changing a new visitor daily...
but most hotels don't do that, and will allow a daily joiner...
