Sakon Nakhon is void of 4-5 star hotels. Dusit is one of the best 3 star accommodations in town (Majestic (MJ) being the other). The Dusit has the advantages of being a smaller, quieter, facility with a 'homey' atmosphere. It is also located in the older part of town and very accessible to many family run, local restaurants. Exploring this part of town is fascinating. The standard rooms are quite basic, but the deluxe rooms have nice decor and are very comfortable and well appointed. The beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean, good A/C, free wi-fi, and the service staff are very friendly. The only minor complaint is that the wardrobe closets are small and awkward. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Good room not one of the cheaper ones, 650 exl breakfast room very clean nice mattereas and good cotton sheets, air conditioning worked well but thermostat was not working so room a little too cool
staff very helpful and friendly
we had dinner in the hotel cost about 850 with no drinks but very much enjoyed the thai food breakfast and coffee 150 pp average Felt very good value for money

Stayed for 3 nights. Not much to do around the immediate area. Nice vegetarian restaurant one street east and north. Ask for "raan ahaan jai"

Economy Room was 400 baht per night. AirCon, wireless internet but flaky connection. Room was dark, dreary, but functional. Mosquitoes in the room. Swimming pool was inoperative. Staff was efficient and helpful. Price did not include breakfast. Did not find the hotel restaurant to be very appealing. Not much English spoken I believe, but speak Thai enough myself.

I think a slightly better bet is MJ Hotel, if you do not need internet.
