The b Ranong Trend Hotel Reviews

I really wanted to like this place as it looks kind of quirky / funky and I especially liked that it was off a main road area so I was expecting a quite night, but unfortunately not. It's a little difficult to find the place, at least at night, which is OK and expected as I wanted something secluded and quiet. We arrived and all was good, very nice girl at reception and man who directed us to some places we might like to try for dinner. The room looked OK and as mentioned, it's a little quirky however, the pillows/cushions had a weird smell to them so we put them aside. Not sure these have ever been replaced or cleaned in anyway. The room we got had a street light directly outside the window and even though we had heavy blinds, they clearly are not blackout style. So we had a fairly light filled room for the night, which I probably could have dealt with but the biggest issue was the extremely loud air conditioner. This thing sounded like a generator powering the entire town. Given the heat we had no choice but to leave it on and try our best the sleep. Needless to say I got zero sleep...not great considering I had a 5 hr drive ahead of us to get to Phuket. There are a few other hotels in the area and I would be looking at those if I'm ever back in the area.
