Hotel Tropicana The Hotel Tropicana was one of the first hotels built in Pattaya in the 1960's - and boy does it show it! This run-down dilapidated hotel is situated in a prime location and so actually does get a fair number of first-time visitors. The main building is two stories with a conference room on the 2nd floor. It goes without saying that there is not a single elevator in the whole building. But if you really want to book this windowless claustrophobic conference room for a meeting make sure that everybody goes to the washrooms beforehand as the nearest toilets are some 3-4 minutes walk away and downstairs. And what can we say about their 'executive suites'? Their decor is in touch with their age, the sliding balcony doors have rotten wooden frames and the furniture is 'antique??'. If you do decide to stay at the Hotel Tropicana, Pattaya, then be sure to have plenty or ready cash. Apart from the general high prices I can tell you of one incident in which I was personally involved. A guest was simply pulling the coffee table from a totally unsuitable position when a leg fell off! He and a friend then tried to move the table outside and another leg fell off!! What did the management do? - They asked by what method the guests would like to pay for the 4,000 bht damages caused to their coffee table!!!
