Hey sparky.No joiner fee for one girl at any of these hotels.
The general concensus among BM's that have stayed at all of these hotels is that the Majestic rooms are more upscale than the other two.They also have in-room safes which is a nice feature.I've never stayed there but have walked by it often.
I have stayed at the other hotels and here's my take.
Dynasty(front building)These rooms are clean but a little worn looking.There's a lot of wood trim,wooden doors wooden stairway railings,a real wood theme which makes it look almost antique (and I guess it is)bathtub and toilet also showing their years but everything was clean and in working order.
Dynasty (back building)These are the new rooms.You walk through the front building,past the travel agent desk out into a small parking area/courtyard,where you'll see the back building.Rooms are smaller than the front building(I had the standard room in both buildings)and instead of a tub there's a shower stall.It may have been a quirk of my particular room,but you couldn't open the bathroom door all the way without hitting the toilet.Summary;clean and new but small.
Overall I was comfortable at the Dynasty.Nice restaurant and small bar in the lobby.Also tables and barstool-type seating outside the front door.The staff were helpful with my requests and questions and my 500 baht security deposit was returned to me at the end of my stay.Free shuttle to Pattaya if you book the Dynasty Pattaya(it's an almost new building) for two nights
This tour I spent 4 nights at the Nana Hotel.The room was clean but certainly a little worn looking.Aside from that,the Nana had everything I wanted.A disco with plenty of stunners,a quiet bar,the infamous parking lot,Nana Plaza across the street,a large lobby with comfy chairs for watching the world go by,large restaurant with free buffet breakfast,internet access,travel consultants and something the other two hotels can't offer.A very nice outdoor pool on the third floor,great for a refreshing afternoon dip.
The Nana is one of those places that you either love or hate.(it's obvious which group I fall into) but especially for a first time visitor who may be too intimidated to wander too far from his hotel for the first couple of days,if you can get past the worn(but clean) rooms,it offers one stop shopping that the other two hotels can't.
I also stayed at the Landmark Hotel,which is very upscale,but despite the richly appointed rooms and pampered service,I found myself missing the down to earth, P4P friendly attitude of the Nana.I guess for me,I know why I come to Bangkok,and it's not for a fancy hotel room.
I hope this helps someone.
