acronyms

Hi all, first time posting so I hope I'm following proper forum etiquette here; feel free to let me know if otherwise. I'm inbound to Pattaya in early March, and am planning on staying 2-3 weeks. It's my first visit and I'm looking for recommendations on hotels. I've searched this forum but am looking for updated info since the general wisdom seems to hold that things change somewhat rapidly there, and the posts I've found are mostly aging. Here are the criteria I'm hoping to find: - Guest friendly - Safe in room - Walkable to Soi 6/1 I'm not sure what to say for pricing. I'll probably stay at Marriott for the first day or two after travel just to get a better night's sleep on their mattresses, but past that I don't think there's much value for me in paying for a 5 star room. I can afford better than budget hotels, but I'd rather spend my money on entertainment. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any insights. I can't wait to be there!
