Can tell the hotel was once a grand place but had since deteriorated. It’s far from the city center and we use Grab mostly. The staff were helpful and we used their travel assistance to go sightseeing.

I returned to Chiang Mai after a trip a year ago to find specific shops, walking streets, and restaurants. All were as pleasing as I remember. Otherwise, I came to get away from Bangkok and simply relax.
