Independent, Chun hotels

"This was just an overnight stay in the provincial capital to meet friends for dinner and hang out a bit, as our home is about 30km away from town. The hotel is decent, a bit dated in design and décor but clean and like most Phayao hotels very inexpensive by Western standards. There are shops and a few small restaurants in the immediate area, and the Kwan Phayao lakefront is almost walking distance, though we didn't go to the lake as recent flooding in the area meant some restaurants were closed. In the hotel itself, the pool was closed for renovations, which was disappointing; the fitness center was open, and fairly large and well equipped. Breakfast was included but nothing really to "write home about.""

"Lovely modern hotel, nice modern rooms, good breakfast. Hotels.com info doesn’t state aircon but this is included as well as kettle. Only downside is the location is a little out of town which means you need to drive."

"Very nice place to stay … clean, well maintained, great pool. The only drawback, which is a small thing, was that free drinking water was not provided. Water was 15 baht for a small bottle. "
