hey people, i have a suggestion....this property has far too few pictures on their official website....it may be a good idea for people staying here to take pictures of their rooms & the common areas....this way we would know what each of the rooms look like over a short period of time....

It's a very nice FourPoints
Hello:
I have stayed here two times so far and the hotel is "for the price of 1900" great!. As a plat I received no welcome note and no upgrade however I read that this hotel is short on suites. It is "cheap and cheerful" if I had to sum it all up.
They are indeed having staffing issues....I wonder if many of the managers have worked in Thailand before and know how to manage in this culture? English is well spoken at the front desk and concierge however restaurants and bars need some assistance. You cannot compare the SGS or the Le Meridian Suriwong to this hotel!
Enjoy!

Stayed at the hotel. As others have stated, the 1900THB price is a good value. As a Plat, you receive free internet, breakfast, drinks at night ( did not take advantage of so cant provide info ) and also 3 free pieces of pressing ( also did not take advantage of ).
They are still doing construction so if you plan to sleep past 8am, you might want to look at another hotel. Only main issue with the room is the bathroom. The shower does not drain well (caused my the whole bathroom to flood) and the sink has a design which splashes water all over the place.
If you are looking for a suite upgrade, better to go with the Westin. As others have pointed out, limited number of suites in the hotel and it seems those are being picked up by paying customers. When I checked in I saw them getting over 30 Plat reservations ready (so this seems like a popular hotel for SPG guests).
Would stay again if the price is right. But if they choose to bring it up close to the price of the Westin, would stay at the Westin instead or if trying to save some money, On8 Hotel on Soi 8.

Dang... not sure how I missed this (or why I passed on it if I saw it) but the wife and I are at the PA in a paid club room. (Was 35% off for booking 30+ days in advance.) The rate we ended up paying was 5586 a/i. Breakfast at raintree is great, lounge benefits are nice, but in the end, not sure they were worth $110. I think one of the reasons we (I) passed on the 4P, is that we're on our honeymoon, and wanted something that has proven to be a nice experience. Can't say I'm let down.

Agreed about the shower leak ... but that's a problem I have at many hotels.
