It's the absurd assertions and exaggerations by people who haven't stepped foot in the hotel.

A 1/3rd of recent reviews complaining about noise? Nonsense. No, that's too weak. It's a lie. Tripadvisor and Google reviews show nothing of the sort in the last few months. I advise everyone to read them for themselves.

We've had the same person here claiming it's 7 days a week, inescapable and intolerable, and been going on for the better part of a year.

When that's challenged by multiple posters including myself who were actually there during the supposed intolerable noise the goalposts are moved over and over to narrow the period.

The evidence? A photo of a construction site that's been in that state for over a year, and a third hand report from someone claiming to speak with staff, who, oddly for Thais, are ready to disparage their employer's business.

Is everyone else, including recent extended stay guests writing reviews deaf? Am I deaf? Or perhaps we're all liars.

Again, are the hundreds of overwhelmingly positive recent reviews fake, and the low single digit number of reviews mentioning "noise" reflective of the situation? Such a small ratio of complaints to praise are the "noise" one learns to filter out when evaluating.

It's the lack of common sense, logic, and the certainty regarding "7-day a week" "intolerable and inescapable noise" from those amplifying this nonsense that's irritating.
