The Airport road guesthouses and hotels
Convenient to your hotel and the airport -- that is about it. Lined with dozens of mostly characterless faux-four star hotels, the Airport Road has slim pickings when it comes to fine lodgings, though there are a few about. Most everything will be a motorbike or tuk tuk ride away, so if you're planning on staying out here to save money, you're better off staying closer to town.
