All that time away from home, checking into hotel after hotel, staying in new cities: it's enough to make you want a stiff drink. Or, apparently, not:<blockquote><p>"Do you have nonalcoholic beer?" a guest asked a passing waiter. "Yes sir, we have beer," he was told. "But do you have nonalcoholic beer?" "Yes sir, we have beer," the waiter said again, politely gesturing toward the menu. "But do you have ... Oh, forget it. Bring me a beer."</blockquote></p><p>That's the latest word from Stuart Emmrich who checked into the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/H%F4tel+de+la+Paix%2C+Siem+Reap/local/305">H&#244;tel de la Paix</a></b> in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

This time, however, we've been stumped. The truth is, even looking at hotels during a <a href="http://www.whatsonwhen.com/events/~6440.jml#dates">major festival</a>, it's hard to find a bad rate in Phomh Penh, Cambodia.<p>Traveling in developing countries isn't for those who need everything to be perfect all the time, but the irony is that hotel facilities and services in a country like Cambodia are often far better than you could expect at home.
