I stayed at April Suites and never paid a joiner fee for 1 guest. There have been reports they charge a joiner fee for a 2nd guest. Great hotel IMHO

I also enjoyed my stay at S Sukhumvent Suites.

The reception is on the second floor and checking in your joiner seems to be optional. I checked my joiners in which consisted of just making a photocopy of the ladys ID. The location is great, close to Soi Cowboy and Terminal 21. I also walked ladys home from Thermae. No Pool and Gym, but the higher end hotels down the street sell days passes to their gym and pool. I bought a day pass to Sofitel 700 baht I think, not cheap but an option to have. My only knock on the place was problems with hot water in the shower, other people on trip advisor reported similar issues.
