How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Swadi Thai is top-notch! Fully authentic, and tastes like home. (I'm Burmese.) Staff is friendly, and of course the food tastes great. We will for sure be back often!

I tried the Massaman curry and loved it! Thai food isn't usually my favorite (I prefer Indian), but this place is great. Also had some Thai tea, which I loved. Will definitely come again soon!
