Survival Mode
Probably as low as hotels go. You get what you pay, and compromises were not only at every turn, but always in your face. I needed to extend my stay in Thailand because a flat renovation delay prevented me from returning to Fiji as scheduled. I selected budget hotels for a month in Bangkok, splurging some weekends at moderately expensive ones. The first hotel was poor, with my window overlooking a couple levels of a parking garage, and the second was little better and out of the way. At the third rooms had not windows; guests learn only after arriving. I attempted to find Hotel Win Long on my own, looking for an OYO sign. I came close with the help of navigation and getting directions from scooter drivers. But to find the hotel required getting a taxi, with the driver going by building numbers and street names/numbers, turning at a small sidewalk sign reading "Win Long Place Hotel" down an alleyway with the building hidden from street view and a small "Oyo" sign by the door. The picture is deceptive, taken from one side of an alley. The building is old, maybe 1950s, with air conditioners, refrigerators and TVs out of the 1960s and 70s. Bathrooms are antiquated, with running toilets. In the "Superior Rooms" in a separate building constructed early this millennium, TVs and refrigerators are more contemporary. but if you choose to open windows there are no screens. If you like rugged nostalgia, stay here. For me, it was the happiest ever checkout.
