At Inle we liked the Aung Mingalar Hotel, Nandawun Qr: Nyaungshwe, Shan State, Myanmar, Ph : 081-24188, 29339 and at Bagan the New Park Hotel, Thiripyitsaya Block No.4, Bagan, Myanmar. Tel: 062-70122. Rooms in the USD 15.00 to USD 25.00 range.
At Inle lake, I and others have enjoyed the Rememberance Inn, peaceful area, huge rooms, 2 cafes, and next to best massage and top 3 cafes for good cuisine, and Smiling Moon is around corner for Chocolate Pancakes, and guide/boat charters are there too, or just walk to river and strike a deal.
