UPDATE:
After
a
couple
months
from
my
un
Let
me
just
start
with
this...
Old
City
Wall
Inn
is
a
tremendous
value
and
I
highly
recommend
you
book
a
stay
here
if
you
are
travelling
to
Chiang
Mai.
This
review
will
currently
only
cover
my
very
initial
experience
as
I
have
just
checked
in.
As
always,
I
will
provide
updates
based
upon
my
continued
experience.
I
just
moved
to
Chiang
Mai
and
my
condo
at
the
Astra
will
not
be
ready
for
approximately
a
month
so
my
little
sister
who
already
lives
in
Chiang
Mai
was
kind
enough
to
find
a
couple
one
month
stay
options
that
are
reasonably
close
to
my
future
condo.
Within
those
options,
I
chose
Old
City
Wall
Inn
primarily
for
the
following
reasons
in
the
order
listed:
1)
Bathtub
-
I
have
always
opted
to
live
in
places
that
have
bathtubs.
It
is
an
increasingly
rare
feature,
but
something
I
place
a
very
high
value
on.
2)
Location
-
Being
close
to
walking
street
is
great
and
there
is
no
shortage
of
dining
and
entertainment
options.
It
is
also
quite
close
to
my
future
condo
and
my
little
sister
already
has
a
condo
there
so
it
is
nice
to
be
close
to
her.
3)
A
big
white
wall
-
perfect
for
watching
movies
from
my
portable
projector
and
there
is
a
couch
ideally
located
to
comfortably
watch
the
movies.
I
chose
the
smaller
and
cheaper
room
without
a
kitchen
because
of
the
beautiful
white
wall.
4)
Price
-
I
was
quite
pleasantly
surprised
at
what
a
great
value
it
is.
When
my
little
sister
told
me
the
price,
I
was
actually
shocked
at
how
good
the
price
was.
I
was
willing
and
expecting
to
spend
double
what
I
actually
ended
up
paying.
My
little
sister
set
up
the
reservation
the
same
day
that
I
checked
in
paying
1,000
baht
to
hold
the
room
until
I
arrived
and
paid
the
remaining
balance
as
well
as
an
approximate
3000
baht
deposit
which
is
perfectly
reasonable.
My
check
in
experience
was
very
quick,
pleasant
and
convenient.
I
was
asked
to
provide
a
copy
of
my
passport
prior
to
arrival
which
surely
helped
to
speed
up
the
check
in
process.
It
was
a
pleasure
meeting
Golf,
who
I
spoke
with
prior
to
arrival
and
the
staff
without
exception
seemed
polite
and
competent.
As
I
am
staying
for
an
entire
month,
there
was
a
longer
than
normal
amount
of
paperwork
that
had
to
be
filled
out,
but
as
an
attorney,
I
have
a
strange
love
of
contracts
and
it
did
not
bother
me.
This
was
also
all
ready
for
me
when
I
arrived
and
so
I
had
zero
wait
time
for
the
preparation
and
execution
of
the
documentation.
The
room
is
on
the
second
floor
and
although
I
would
have
preferred
a
room
with
a
street
view,
the
rear
facing
room
is
probably
a
bit
more
quiet.
There
is
a
balcony
that
overlooks
a
garden
and
there
is
a
sign
posted
forbidding
smoking
which
is
absolutely
fine
with
me
since
the
smell
of
cigarettes
does
have
a
tendency
to
permeate
into
the
room
even
if
smoked
on
a
balcony.
The
only
2
things
that
I
find
so
far
to
be
somewhat
lacking:
1)
The
bathtub
drain
stopper
does
not
hold
water
in
the
bathtub
very
long.
The
water
leaks
out
rather
quickly
and
as
I
previously
stated
how
important
an
amenity
I
consider
the
bathtub
to
be,
this
is
something
that
I
fear
will
become
an
increasingly
negative
experience.

issue

hours]
2)
Electricity
is
charged
separately
and
is
billed
at
9
baht
per
unit.
This
is
a
very
minor
issue
but
since
I
own
a
home
in
Bangkok
and
a
condo
in
Chiang
Mai,
I
know
that
this
is
almost
double
the
rate
I
pay
at
my
actual
residences.
One
positive
aspect
about
this
is
that
it
should
be
an
incentive
to
conserve
electricity.
For
the
average
tourist,
this
is
a
non-issue
and
I
hesitate
to
even
mention
it,
but
i
write
it
in
the
interests
of
providing
a
comprehensive
review,
