    For a first visit you can't go far wrong with Flipper Lodge hotel at Beach Rd end of Soi 8 . I think the clean, spacious rooms are 1600 ish baht per night with a good breakfast choice and a large rooftop pool. It was my first hotel I ever stayed at in Pattaya way back in February '07. Also you'll find it on websites, but you'll pay a small commission fee, so I just wander round Pattaya until I find a hotel to my liking. Which may involve staying in a bland place for a couple of nights, then booking in a nicer place long term and bartering a deal.

    Beware of booking a Superior room in the Evergreen wing, notice the photo on the hotels web site is shot at night with the rooms lights on, the reason is the room is really dark and drab , the net curtains on the right enclose a small (1m x 2M balcony) that has a wood screen on the outside blocking off most of the light . My room was very dingy and dated , had certainly not been refurbed , the bed was on quite a high platform which was a totally useless semi dangerous feature if you are short as I am, the bath is the same, you have to clamber into the very high bath tub to have a shower and reverse to get out onto a shiny tiled floor from a shiny bath tub with no bath mat or hand rails. When I asked to move I was continuously told the place was full so had to stick it out for five days as I had pre paid. As Paul says great location.
