Hotel was fairly low price at 50 aud , but near patong you could definitely do better... Shower and bathroom were fairly gross, needed a fair bit of cleaning, room was fairly clean but walls carpet etc were torn and bruised... bathroom had no exhaust fan so everything ended up covered in moisture. Balcony had one rusty old chair we daren't sit on and the balcony doors let all of the city noise in (it's in a busy area too, sleep was very hard). It also didn't have a top sheet on the bed nor a duvet, so we didn't feel particularly comfortable... My wife was bitten a bunch of times by something too but that could have been a bug we brought in. It won trip advisor of 2002, but it's really gone downhill since then. the room had no phone, or safe instructions and the lamp wasn't plugged in which made us wonder if they didn't get the room prepared for us on time. No eftpos and no complimentary water were a bit of an annoyance too. The staff were polite and helpful, and went out of their way to help us when our taxi didn't arrive at right buildin.
One other thing, the picture on Expedia is nothing like the actual building, it looks like they've since sold part of the building to another company and downsized.
