I think the hotel is called 'heritage' just because it is really old and most things are falling apart.
My first impression of the reception area was shocking. Very dirty and not appealing at all.
I was afraid of the room condition after seeing this. There is a big sign at the reception saying: "NO early check in", thus the (so called) lobby was full of people waiting for 2pm to check in.
I used the toilets next to the reception and it was horribly disgusting.
The room was bigger than expected and overall impression a little better than the impression of the reception. Everything is dated, but the AC is quite new, although it led its own life, sometimes out of itself just went to another mode or temperature.
Pillows are very thick and uncomfortable (so I used my own inflatable travel pillow).
The worst was the room being FULL of ents, literally everywhere, hundreds! And I got some mosquito bites too. So I had to put on anti-mosquito spray at night.
It was the cheapest private room in all Hat Yai, only hostels are a bit cheaper, but hostels in Hat Yai are also very poor (in my experience). So it's normal for Hat Yai standards I guess. You pay mainly to get some privacy and a shower with bed. Just don't expect much in terms of cleanliness and quality.
