Rayong Lanna Hotel — Hotel in Rayong Province

Time for an update, since I reviewed the hotel a few years ago. The pandemic curtailed a lot of travel, so it's been a while since we were here.||They closed during the pandemic, but used that time to do a lot of upgrades and remodeling. There is all new tile throughout, and very attractive tile at that; my wife is considering replacing the tile in our house with what's in the hotel. The beds, or at least the mattresses, are also new and quite comfortable. On this stay we were also given a suite that was almost the size of my condo back in the US, and at a great price that included breakfast. You order breakfast the night before from the brief menu, which I imagine they do so as to predict how much they need the following morning and not have food go to waste. ||The staff here is, as they were before, very friendly and professional, and work hard to make sure your have a comfortable stay. The day manager/assistant manager Mr. B is a terrific host, and speaks excellent English. When we were checking out, he made sure to be around so he could personally thank us for staying, and we very much appreciated him doing this.||Although you will see some some foreign guests (probably avoiding the madness of Pattaya), it does seem to cater more to Thai customers; all of the television channels are Thai. However, if you're spending your time in Thailand watching television, you're missing the whole point of being there. ||All in all, another excellent stay, and we will definitely be...

My wife, a Thai, and I stayed here for a few days after a week in Pattaya visiting friends. The missus had bought their VIP card for 1,000 baht/year earlier in the year, so we got a really good price on this trip: deluxe room for 800 baht/night, breakfast for 2 included. The hotel's front-desk lead speaks pretty decent English, so with that and a wife who's a native Thai speaker, communication with the staff was easy. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, and seem willing to make sure you have a pleasant and trouble-free stay. ||||The rooms are a nice size and very neat, with marble/stonework flooring. It's not a Marriott or Hilton, but it's not intended to be. Beds are quite firm, which with my bad back is a good thing, and the air-con works really well; almost too well at times. It actually got a bit chilly in the room at night so we needed to adjust the air-con to get it right; not a problem, though.||||The location is close to a lot of other restaurants and markets, and is a short drive to the beach. Rayong is not a tourist destination, so the hotel caters largely to Thai customers, but non-Thai customers will still find this a very acceptable place to stay. We'll definitely...

Americans traveling in Thailand on our way to Koh Samet. We needed a hotel quick for one night. The prices were very cheap, but that is all we needed for our short stay. ||The hotel is in a busy/active street so you wouldn't have a problem fixing something to eat or a bar.||The manager spoke perfect English and was extremely kind and helpful. He was just a delight! He called a taxi for us the following day and was very accommodating. ||Room was basic, nothing special. One towel and no hand towels or wash clothes, however I am sure if we really needed them we could have called down for more towels. Complimentary water as for all the hotels we have stayed at in Thailand. Bed is hard, but so are all the beds in the hotels we have stayed at. I'm learning it is Thailand style. Our room had a small balcony.||I have read reviews about the noice from bars in the area, but we did not hear any noise. It was actually very quiet. Maybe just ask for a room that is quiet.|||We bought breakfast for 100 bht each. Breakfast was just okay, but for the price it we couldn't turn it down.||If I am ever in the area again I...
