I am looking for a hotel late in June thru early July and the prices seem much higher this year. In the order of 40% higher. Anyone know what is up? I used to stay at the Grand President on Soi 11 but that has gotten a bit too seedy and attracts a tourist crowd that I am not so compatible with. Also, while every suite has a washing machine after staying there for years I have yet to find one that actually works. Last year I stayed at the Centre Point Soi 10 and was very happy with the hotel but this year the price is very high for the same period. I have a reservation there but I am looking to see what else I can find. What I am looking for is close to the action on Sukhumvit, girl friendly of course, very clean and washing machine in room. I would like to keep it around $100US per night.
