Baywalk Residence offers a good location, decent service, reasonable security and below level amenities.
The location is on Beach Road, though set back a bit from the street. The hotel is located very close to Garden Plaza Mall. The mall makes for convenient air conditioned shopping and dinning options. In the heat of the day an air conditioned mall is pure gold! Restaurants, pharmacy, Starbucks, KFC, and very reasonably priced clothing for westerners.
The hotel amenities need improvement, most specifically the fitness center, which has decent treadmills, but otherwise antiquated and poorly maintained equipment.
The breakfast is decent and served on a terrace with an excellent view of Pattaya bay.
Staff are helpful and friendly without being pushy.
Overall a good value, though some improvements would be useful.
