Ask for a room at the rear; you'll get more peace and quiet, and from the higher floors you can see the outline of Doi Suthep.
Lonely Planet
"If you're looking for comforts, you've found the right spot. Rooms are modern and well sized, have muted tones and are well-kitted out with safes, minibars, and sparkling en suites."
