“This hotel struck me as a mixed bag, yet appealing in its own way. I noted the sizable pool and the on-site karaoke pub as potential bright spots for families, though some facilities show their age. In my view, its location near the River Kwai Bridge makes it a solid base for exploring the area's history.”
