That, and the smoke and damp filled corridors, resulted in me leaving around midnight and latterly arguing via Ambassador for a refund on the rest of the stay (eventually given by corporate, but denied by the hotel). I took a taxi to the Marquis or the W (can't remember), and enjoyed the rest of my time in Bangkok. The lounge and its staff are the only positives I can think of...

The Marriott site says this is a non-smoking property. Is that wrong? Noticeable odours would definitely be a problem.

Have appreciated your hotel reports in other threads in the past so I'll keep checking back for it.
