There is only one room that has it's own bathroom with shower, this one is a little more expensive (about $10 more) and is spacious with a queen sized bed. Otherwise the other rooms either have a half bath or have a shared bathroom in the hallway. (with the half bath you have to use the hallway bathroom to shower) All are very reasonably priced about $40-$50 a night.

spicy curries especially the pork stuffed chiles in a red coconut curry. But the Thai barbecued chicken (one half a chicken) is the best I ever ate. The spicy fried rice is great also. All food is cooked with Thai ingredients, not some american/thai blend
