Pattaya Sea View Hotel - SHA Extra Plus

This is the worst Hotel in all of Pattaya, I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying there, save your money and time! The rooms are tiny and smell funky, the bathroom is dirty. I saw a House in the Lobby!! The front desk staff are rude and don’t care when you address them about an Issue with the room. They lie and false advertise on all their pictures and ads. I will never stay there again….

DO NOT STAY HERE
I encountered several issues during my stay
The room was not thoroughly cleaned, with mold present in the bathroom. The hotel was undergoing renovations, resulting in a strong, unpleasant paint smell. On check-out day, the elevator was out of service, forcing me to take the stairs from the 7th floor.
Furthermore, the front desk staff attempted to charge my friend and I for various items upon check-out, which I had to dispute. When I requested a fresh towel, I was told to explain what was wrong with the one I had, even though I simply needed a clean towel for a shower before leaving. This response seemed unreasonable and is not what I expect from a hotel.

An utter scam of a place! I want to to write this review to especially warn other brown skinned people that besides being fraudsters, they are are also prejudiced and racial. Allow me to elaborate. We had booked 3 rooms here. During check out my parents were asked to pay 250B per pillow case (4 pillows in each room so that could be as high as 1000B per room) because they claimed some oil stains were found on the pillow cases. The checking was not done in front of us, even though we waited during check out. They seem to be working on the prejudice that all Indians have oil dripping from their hair and hence our pillowcases would naturally be stained. But not only had we not used oil, we didn't even use the pillows cause they were so uncomfortable! So the question of staining the linen could not arise. Sadly my aunt and uncle who checked out a little before were made to feel so embarrassed about the stains that they shelled out 500B!

This place was booked by our travel agent. It was only when I came here to write the review that I realised other Indians have been put through the exact same situation! And strangely all pillow cases have the exact same stain too! The housekeeper miraculously produces it at check out! In the third room, my sister stayed in the room while the checking was done, so ours was the only room where no stained pillow case was found.

The staff is rude, loud and disrespectful. My folks are 70+. The staff showed absolutely no respect for their age. Actually it was a bad experience from the word go but we had already paid up and were extremely tired so we couldn't do anything about it. During check in, they told us we were early, so we waited patiently in the lobby. We were extremely thirsty and my dad asked for a glass of water. My father was rudely told "You cannot get water until 2:00pm that is after your check in is completed. If you need water, go to the shop opposite (which sells 500ml water for 35B) and buy". This was my first visit to Thailand and this place for my first stay here. I have to say it scarred my memory of our visit. Had it not been for the following hotels and staff, we probably would have left Thailand with the most unpleasant memory. Excuse the long review, but avoid this place at all costs!
