Sri U-Thong Grand Hotel

Locals say this is the premier hotel in town. If that's so, this ultra-boring town is really pathetic. It's a pity because staff are quite friendly and the lobby looks grand. The horror starts once you enter the room, or even before this, as the public corridors are not air-conditioned and very hot. The room basically does not function as a comfortable place to rest for the night. It really smells. No matter how much perfume and fragrance you spray in it, the stench comes back all the time, and it hits you the moment you enter. Bedsheets are stained. I became so itchy that I could not sleep the whole night. There is only one socket in the whole room. The carpet is dusty and dirt-stained. There is no hair dryer nor toiletries. The WC does not have a hoss spray -- something so basic in the poorest households in this country. The bathroom is disgusting (see attached pictures) and moldy. Perhaps the best thing is the strong water pressure. But this is a place to stay far far away from.
