Friendly hotel

Friendly hotel a few blocks from Panong beach. Teo story building eith no elevator but staff assisted me to carry bag up stairs. Room was small, basically enough room to walk around the bed. Small bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Has a nice bar where guests can hangout at. Many people seemed to be repeat customers who knew the staff by name. Area is very busy, lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. Hotel is about 2 blocks from all the mayhem so very quiet.
