Travel reviews for 137 Pillars House
Date of stay: May 11, 2012
Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel is very good, the room is very beautiful, I very like the type of Hotel
But I live on the 3pay 2discount room rates, but in the rooms, forcing me to pay3 to upgrade the room, I think is very unreasonable, front desk staff to stay3 nights I agreed to pay for upgrades will, collecting3late upgrade cost. I admitted due to forget my payment concessions, so agreed to pay 3late upgrade rate, but the service personnel that night did not remind me, my room policy, so I think the hotel is cheat.
In hotel booking charter and tour guide service is a cheat, expensive fees but no service,5000 strains of the cost of one day, he took me to the Chiang Mai City of3 temples and treasure mountain village, is simply not worth it.
Reservation service:
Very good, very patiently answered my many questions

the hotel is named. Surrounding cultural treasures await discovery as
do the spa’s Thai and aromatherapy treatments.
