Welcome Plaza Hotel Reviews by Kev

Not much change in this one
by Kev, United States of America - Jan 30, 2012

If you've stayed at this hotel before, you'll note that nothing much changes except the price (goes up a bit each year): the same clean pool with the dirty deck chairs and tattered pool towels offered, the same cold eggs served on the bland breakfast buffet (to be fair, it is offered at no extra charge with most reservations, but come on! A little variety wouldn't hurt!), the same high charge if you want to access their wi-fi, the same tattered bathroom towels and floor mats, etc. I used a safe box one day but wasn't told that I could keep the key until I checked out. I assumed that once I came back from my day outing and emptied my box that I had to then return the key. The next day when I tried to get a box, I was told there wasn't any and THEN I was told I could have kept the key. So, I left my belongings in my room and hoped for the best. It seems $400 was missing and I didn't discover it until I left the hotel. My fault for not being more careful, but maddening all the same. Also, it seems the Russians have invaded this hotel as almost every guest there was speaking Russian. Nothing wrong with this, it's just a little odd. I suppose I'll pass on this hotel if/when I return to Pattaya.
