I stayed at the JW Marriott in July/August 2013 and they most definitely are guest friendly. I saw guys taking two LBs in with not even a raised eyebrow from the door or reception staff. Once I got over my initial shyness I took LBs and GGs back (at different times in case you start getting excited !)) and never had any issue. If you want to be reasonably discreet , after 11PM or so the left hand door of the main entrance is locked and has no doorman on duty. You can open the door with your room key and bring your guest in with you and you are a whole lobby away from the concierge and reception area. I came in that way a few times and the hotel lobby was quiet and we met no one...not that I really cared but just mentioning it if it was a consideration for someone.
On the hotel itself..I was not paying as I was on a business trip but it's not worth the price if you had to pay yourself. I have seen pictures of rooms from other BM reports that look very nice and they are paying a fraction of the cost of staying here. The pool area is very nice and the gym is good but the rooms are aging a bit and the TVs are pretty old and internet was dog slow. The rooms do have nice big beds with a decent mirror beside them so you can get a good view of your lovely visitor and yourself in action :-)
Ok so I know this in the Bangkok forum but I thought it might be useful to post a hotel review of a place in Pattaya for those who are interested.
For the size of the room, the cleanliness etc the place was pretty cheap I thought. Below are the standard rates but was a bit cheaper online.
There is a 2000THB deposit when you checkin, to be honest I had completely forgotten about it when I checked out and they reminded me which was nice.
It was very ladyboy friendly, I only ever took one at a time and there was no fee.
The room service (food) was ok and it was close to all the action on Soi Buakhao. There are frankly ladyboys everywhere in this area.
There is a laundry directly opposite the hotel (it was cheap enough but not as cheap as the one on soi 4, Nana that charges per bag instead of per item).
You get a couple free bottles of water each day, and if you get up too late for room cleaning they leave fresh towels and more water outside your door.
There are a couple of convenience stores nearby, as well as a Tesco and TT Exchange place. It is actually hard to think of anything negative.
I didn't use the pool so can't comment on that but looked good.
Shower is electric but was fine:
I stayed in two rooms at the hotel and both had a balcony with a table, chairs and ashtray that could be taken outside(I don't smoke but useful if you have a ladyboy that does).
No mini bar but coffee...
Free Wifi was fine.
Safe was big enough for a laptop:
