BayBreeze vs. Eastiny review

[monsoonlover10 0]

Hi TT. I stayed at BB quite awhile ago. Maybe things have changed but when I read the thread here, it doesn't seem it had. I'm a homeowner now but at one time, I was looking for a central hotel and read about BB. The best part of that street is the lovely internet cafe owner next to BB. She's the nicest human I've ever met in Thailand. I always went out of my way to steer business to her tiny shop. I hope anyone reading this will give her their patronage.

 

Thanks for the reply and pointing out my not being clear. It's most appreciated.

Stayed at BayBreeze but never again. First of all, I don't like doing business with a ladyboy and BayBreeze has one on staff with MAJOR attitude.

That is some funny shit. I stayed there in March-April and he/she checked me in, it was funny as hell. I remember checking in I asked he/she "it ok i bring Pooying back"? he/she said "ok no problem thir". I thought it was funny as hell.

 

Sorry to hear you guys did not like Baybreeze, i stayed there and was pleased, for 600 baht with a nice view of the sea it is pound for pound the best value in Pattaya.

 

cheers

Kevin,

 

You do need to get out a bit more and check out a few other hotels.

I would but moving sucks. Next trip I might use 2 different hotels but I since I am going to be there for 3 weeks again, i have to be thrifty and save my baht for other things.

3 1/2 months and counting...

cheers

This past week may have given me some insight on opposing comments (good value vs. crap) on the Bay Breeze hotel. I've mentioned before that I've been patronizing the Bay Breeze Hotel for the past 10 years and was a satisfied customer.

 

Being the low season, Bay Breeze has many empty rooms and I had a chance to look at half a dozen. The room I was originally given was clean and in good shape. But the airconditioner blew a fuse, leaving the room without air or lights. No problem - they transferred me to the room next door. However, adjoining room had the "dive look." There was a hole in the carpet about the size of a cigarette pack. Either a patch job was in-progress or had came apart. The cloth on one of the false headboards was badly shredded. I requested a different room and was given a couple room keys to look around. I chose another pleasant room. My conclusion is that the Bay Breeze management is not doing the necessary maintenance on room appearance. Some rooms have a run down look.

 

But, as stated before, management has made major improvements over the last several years. The old elevator was replaced with one that even is airconditioned. The frayed carpets in the common areas were replaced with tile and new carpet. New tvs and cable give you dozens of stations - mostly aisan of course. Rooms have electronic safes now. Two bottle of water are provided free.

 

I looked at the two suites that during this low season are let for B1000. It is a regular room plus another similar size room with a bar/sink/small refrigerator. Furnature was wicker sofa and chairs.

 

The large rooms are B700 right now.

 

If you do not like the looks of a particular room in the Bay Breeze Hotel, ask to move to another and you may be satsified.

 

Right now the pool is closed. I see maintenance personnel there working on the tile. So they are doing some proper maintenace.

Hi

 

Stayed in Bay Breeze several times. Pool no great shakes but otherwise fine. Had trouble with cards second last time when staying in Flipper. The bank fucked up and the Flipper wanted paying. I payed them and went to Bay Breeze and explained situation. They said fine to pay at end of stay which was a nice change from Flipper. Staff introduced me to local pawnbroker and ferried me around till things were sorted out. Last time I was in Pattaya (FEB 05) there was no room available there so somebody must like them . Ladyboy always very helpful and pleasant to me despite all my activities.
