The Imperial Hotel & Convention Centre Korat

Nakhon Ratchasima|6.73km from Wat Phut Sa
I visited this hotel in the past while it was under Dusit Franchise. This time, the hotel change from Dusit to Imperial franchise. So, I decided to stay as this hotel as I have to entertain my client who live near the hotel location. Upon arrival, I found out that the hotel price has been dropped around 10% from the time under Dusit franchise. So, I decided to book Junior Suite for this visit. Upon arrival, it is strange to see the hotel entrance is packed with cars from SUV to Pick Up. The problem is the entrance is on the second floor and the ramp going up is rather high. The entrance has only one bell service person at that time. Therefore, it is not surprise at the slower management of the entering point. Still, the bell service is polite and very professional. The check-in area consist of 2 staff members. They provide a good and polite service. We asked for them to book the Chinese restaurant for us as I have 3 guests coming for a visit. They did a remarkable job to book private room for us. Service wise, they did a very good job. The best part of this hotel is the Chinese Restaurant. We ordered the All You can Eat menu and a few a la carte dishes. The All You can Eat deal is roughly US$12 per person. So, it is very cheap and I rather recommend this as an option. The meal for 5 people including extra a la carte order cost us US$100, which is amazingly cheap for a fine dining. The meals are cheap and tasty. The services are excellent and the waitering staffs are taking really good care for our group. After all positive point, I would like to go for the points those need to be improve. First is the room itself. We choose Junior Suite which cost us THB1,800 (US$60). It is one of the cheapest Junior Suite among First Class Hotels in the world. (Actually, the President Suite still cost below US$100, as it stated on their website). The room is big and providing nice view of Korat City. However, the room need a serious renovation. The bed is large and comfortable, the space and decoration is good. But the wallpaper and the toilet is dated. I saw a crack on the wall inside the bedroom area. The worst part is the bathing area, it is leaking while we have shower. The bath tub is rather small for the modern standard and the water is leaking (uncertain whether it came from bath tub or shower section). If I knew that Junior Suite has not been renovate, I would pay extra to go for Presidential Suite instead. I recalled that the hotel has renovate standard room years ago, while it was under Dusit franchise (as I stayed at a newly renovated room back then). So, I don't understand why the Junior Suite has not been renovated. Apart from the room, we found that the breakfast meal selection and standard has been dropped significantly. The breakfast has less selection and fruit selection has only watermelon for our choice. Comparing the the standard under Dusit franchise, I rather say that the selection has been trimmed down significantly. The bread selection
