I would suggest that the name is a giveaway to it being guest friendly & who they cater for!!

If it is the one after the bend before the bridge where Ratutit heads to Karon it seems a good place.It has a small pool and is GF.(One of my mates used it a few years ago)The name Family Inn does not mean that it is for families.

The Family Inn web site used to say right on it that they were guest friendly. Looks like they have a new site now but just because the place is called Family Inn doesn't mean they are not girl friendly.

I know the place. Went there several times for just swimming. Very nice pool.
I think it's owned by Thai. So becareful with dealing with them and make sure you make good agrements.

Dear Bono,
Didn't say they cheat you. Thing is when there is a problem you don't speak Thai and if they want you to pay for something you broke you have to pay even it was not your mistake. Same like renting a motorbike, jetski. It's gonna cost you a lot when you make dammage.

Bono,
There are some who even charge you for a glass. Once they tryed to let me pay for plumming after fluiding (not a Tsunami!) Feel really guilty for sh*tting to much, but that was all I did!
