“Needs renovation... but our stay was OK”
I have no idea who and why built such a hotel in such a small town. There is not much to be seen in Loei, however if you travel across Isaan province (the northeastern part of Thailand) it is a good place to stay for a couple of days. Loei Palace hotel is a large building (I guess approx. 200 rooms), with a large ballroom, conference rooms, etc. Actually during our stay I think 10% of rooms were occupied... no-one in the swimming pool, etc. It was high season.
The hotel is OK, looks like 60-70ies and I think it has not been renovated since. It is clean, the service is good, so not much to complain about... maybe the breakfast, which was just too basic.
