I traveled around northern Thailand back in January. I stayed twice at the Grand Wipanan Residence. It is located north of the Chiang Mai moat, very close to Thanin Market and the Adam's Apple Club. I had a rental car, and they have a convenient basement parking garage.
At the time, the rooms were about 800 baht. The Grand Wipanan is just off Chotana Road on a quiet soi. There is a pool and a fitness area. The rooms are very clean, and all rooms have a balcony with furniture. The hotel is popular with Japanese tourists.
