Pacific Jomtein Reviews by J.B.

Decent stay for decent price
by J.B., Thailand - Jul 8, 2009

The hotel is about a 100m walk down the soi where the statue is in Jomtien before the street turns towards the beach (there is a 7-11 on the corner of the Soi and also Mermaid's Dive shop). The room was clean and decent size for the 590 baht paid per night. The only main drawback was that there was no table and chairs for eating in the room if you wanted to bring food back. Soap and shampoo was provided daily. I didn't eat at the hotel so I cannot comment on the food but did see many other guests chowing down. We wound up extending our stay an additional night and the front desk staff asked for payment in advance for the additional night. The only thing that is misrepresented is the "free broadband internet" access. It turns out that you only get 20 minutes a day using one of the two computers in the lobby. If you are on longer than 20 minutes you have to pay per hour for internet use. Also the hotel has wifi but you have to pay 200 baht for the duration of your stay to be given the WEP access key. Since I only had my phone with me (wifi enabled) and not my computer I didn't pay for the wifi access. If you want free wifi access there are other hotels in the same price range and same area that provide true free internet access.
