If you get good service, hot water, decent food, and a clean room outside of the capital in Laos, then you won. Prize your discovery. I had a very clean room, it was well-furnished, had hot water, clean linen, functioning internet, and I had a good stay. I liked the place. I asked to see one of the suites. Those looked very nice, very well-maintained and spacious. The breakfast was nothing to brag about, and I was wise to go early while it was still hot. My "very good" rating means very good for Savannakhet.
