le meridien chiang rai

expensive doesn't always mean good

Woke up to this dirty water view overlooking a hazy river on the last day of my 15 days holiday. 

Lots to share but little time to write. Haha. 

Le Meridien Chiang Rai. Not something I'll recommend to people.

No daily newspaper.

Receptionists/Room service speaks below average English.

Room phone with biscuit crumbs on it.

Provides homebrand toiletries set. 

stained glass door at the restaurant

Dirty and stained doors at the buffet restaurant.

Took 15 mins to deliver a bottle opener.

Replaced all towels when not told to do so - what's with the environmental-friendly reminders in the room when your staff don't even follow simple NO-instruction.

At 6 times the street price, it serves the worst khaosoy among all the others I had in Chiang Rai.

And it's located so far away from the town centre.

Any small hotels with high ratings on Agoda could have done better than this hotel.

Definitely has low value for money.
