Free drinks and happy hour yes. I believe they had beer in the fridge. I booked 2 river view rooms and both were upgraded to exec with connecting doors and included access to the exec lounge. It is the weirdest exec lounge I have ever been to. You walk in and it looks very similar to a suite living room ahead of you with the receptionist and a computer to the right side. You walk through the suite living room to get to the dining area. 3 separate distinct areas. Furnishings very old, but view very good. Service very very good, they definitely do try!

Breakfast is served, limited to scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bacon, sausage and assorted fruit/pastries/cold cuts/cheese/bread for breakfast. Juices self serve from fridge with yogurt. Happy hour has some decent alcohol if I remember correctly, and malibu. Two hot items served. Bartender makes drinks then brings over to your table. Even though this was busy season (Christmas) there was at most 8 people at any one time in the lounge.

Wifi was NOT free at all except for lobby bar. You have to purchase wifi cards at the front desk, 300THB for 1.5 hrs?

Laundry - never used the service.

Check in.out - checked in at front desk in lobby - didn't know they had an executive lounge at first.
