The breakfast is the best benefit, food and atmosphere are nice, the rooms are really outdated and the color palate made me feel like I was in some midwestern town in the US, and certainly do not make you feel like you are in Thailand at all. We did get a nice welcome basket, which was not cleaned up the next day. The lounge is abysmal. It closes at 8pm sharp - why? when many people want to just sit and look at the view which is its best asset. The lounge staff is beyond unhelpful, food is awful and limited and it is just not an enjoyable experience. Then again what do I expect for less than 100 dollars. I do like the addition of Iconsiam next door as a destination and for restaurants but next time I will spend the extra money and stay elsewhere. We flew home via Doha, where the Hilton lounge had a rotating full dinner each night with the most helpful and friendly staff, a view over the Corniche and a lounge that closed at 10pm-
