Also, I'd like to recommend the Chatra court hotel on Suk soi 19, 1,350 THB if you book through atsiam.com, it's a bit far down the soi but it's GF, rooms are big apartment style with kitchen area, it's clean and the the guys that run it are great! And if you like soi cowboy then it's only a 15 min walk from this hotel to cowboy, and about the same to Asoke BTS.

Found the other site....this guy's report is from May this year 2007
"If anyone is still reading this I think it's unanimous that this place is a dump. The bed is too low to the floor, which is important because the carpet is funky as hell. I'm talking shag carpet installed in the 60s.
To quantify this, I'm one person who doesn't think Nana is a dump, just on the old side. So when I think a place is a dump, it probably is. I checked out after the first night too.
At a certain point saving money becomes wasting the money you do spend. The Promenade is this point.
This is the place where you get a room to keep your luggage in and bring a beer garden girl to for ST if you have a late night flight out and you don't want to pay for a full night elsewhere."
....Even though I like the Promenade I'd say this is a fair description of it....if you stay there only book the first night and then do a deal for cash if you decide to stay. enjoy.
