Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. The Spa Deluxe Room with King Bed, the Luxury King Room and the Deluxe Double Bed each measure 36 m² and sleep up to three guests, and the Grand Double Room sleeps two guests with a double bed and a city view.

A shared lounge with a TV area is also on site.

The hotel is on Posaard Road in Tambon Kuhasawan, in the town of Phatthalung, the capital of the province of the same name in southern Thailand. The setting is a provincial town rather than a beach, so the stay is about town life and the countryside around it.

The Phatthalung train station is 250 m away, and Phaduw Don Yo Market is 500 m away, so a rail journey and a morning at the market are both close at hand. Khao Ok Thalu, a hill peak 1.2 km away, is one of the nearer natural landmarks. Further out, Phra Non Cave Temple, a temple set in a cave, lies 7.2 km away, and the Kao Chai Buri Forest Park is another day's outing.

A simple day could start at the market, take in the cave temple and end at the forest park, with a taxi service available for trips beyond the town. Tours can also be arranged through the hotel.
