If it's the people I know, they are great when they know you, but otherwise as tight as...

I quite liked the staff. I woke early to check out the breakfast buffet, but it looked terrible, so I never got anything else there.

I can't imagine that they actually charge people for bringing food up to their rooms. I don't know though.

I made sure the charge was talking about in your "room" and they confirmed it was.

Well, it worked.

Ha! Definitely post it there! Would like to see what they think. And yeah, post the link here so we can find it.

I'd love to stay at LoneStar, several friends stay there every time they visit Phnom Penh.

My only problem is that I know the whole family, staff and lots of the regulars, and I'm just too shy to do my "walk of shame" through there during lunch time every day, LoL.

I understand fully hotel and guesthouse operators not wanting Durian fruit in the room but I'll be damned if I let them tell me I can't take food and beer from outside up to my room. The owner operators should realize I can go to any number of other guest houses so why would I stay there if they're going to charge me essentially corkage fees.

no need to be shy at Lonestar.
my regular choice when i need a hotel.
it is a family place so they have seen it all.

sundance riverside ( ex cali 2 ) has room specials for $17 now too.
the food there has vastly improved in the last 2 months. they got in a qualified chef to retrain new staff members, and i think changed some of the food suppliers.

how did you happen to choose that crazy place?

^^^^^No need for US to be shy at LS. I could see why GM would want some anonymity when he's dragging his 'trollope des soir' through the bar. However, if one just trolls a little later, after midnight there's nobody in the place, and after that you have to wake the tuk tuk guy up to get in. Shame eliminated. The problem with Lux I found was that it's actually too close to the action. Your dates from the previous nights get to spy on your pick that night.

If the reception staff are on the ball, they will call your room as soon as they see the girl and ask if the slapper has taken anything from your room.

as above PLUS there very few rooms at lonestar
not like a 300 room hotel

Nothing funnier on the eyes than seeing some guy at breakfast with a girl dressed up for the bar the night before
