I have been in Thailand for 3 weeks and have some reports I will share after the trip but thought I would post this to show the type of reasonable Hotels you can get in this wonderful city full of Hot Boys.

Checked in yesterday . The rate was $85 a night including breakfast. I have stayed at all the Marriotts in BKK and find this Courtyard very good value for money.

First the staff greets you at the front door with a big smile and "How are you Sir" and there is just something more genuine about it. Front desk speaks excellent English and as requested they upgraded me to a Corner Room because of my Gold Status.

Now the last few years I have stayed at some of the best serviced apartments in BKK and got quite used to the space. So I approached my room with some trepidation. It was going to be hard not to have kitchen etc but I just don't feel like spending $160 a night for a short 5 night stay.

I was pleasantly surprised with the room. Big windows on 2 sides with lots of light. When you first walk in is a large area to place your open bags, plenty of draws and closet space . Safe and small frig which is mostly empty so you can fill it up with stuff from 7/11.

Nice desk space with enough outlets and comfortable chair. Good TV with decent channel selections. Comfortable bed with many great pillows. Also one lounge chair very comfortable.

A/C very quiet . Bathroom has decent counter space and under sink storage and a window.

Big shower with great water pressure and a place to sit down.

And fast internet.

Will report on breakfast buffet later. Have included some photos , I apologize for the quality because of too much sun.

Oh and the boy was in my room an hour after I checked in. I love Gayromeo!

Thanks for the report. I,too, like Marriott but because of the small towns we often visit on business, sometimes I am lucky to have a Holiday Inn Jr. So far, I have not felt any smarter or flown any better from staying in them but also so far no bed bugs or other unpleasantries either.

Have fun.

Best regards,

I'll be anxious to hear more on your visit. I might even have to unretire if these stories keep heating up!

thank you for the report!

On my that's a very nice place with a cute guy on the bed..

The Breakfast Buffet was very nice from my view. I can not comment on the Asian offerings. The executive lounge had some very nice snacks and free booze etc from 530-730pm.

Very little to dislike about this Hotel!

Is it located near a Skytrain station?

5 minute walk to 2 different ones!

I'm glad you are enjoying the hotel. I have stayed there twice already this year, and will be checking in again Wednesday night. I had always stayed at the Tartawan, but the Courtyard is cheaper and offers so much more.

Looks like the previous guest might have accidentally left a cute boy in your room
