The property is this small front tucked into a very busy street. Blink and you'll miss it. Inside, it's a nice hotel, with nice touches of mirrors, marble,and tile. The staff is numerous, extremely helpful and polite. Not a scowl in the place, it was delightful. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, the bed was a bit stiff for me, but that's me. Slept anyway. Security is ubiquitous, very friendly, and genuinely interested. I would definitely come back here. The mall is a short walk away, lots of shops on the road, and tons of "tuktuks" for a cheap easy ride.

Clean and comfy for an overnight stay

Everything was fine, this was just a quick one night stay before flying out. Room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a bit limited for western tastes. Only thing that I didn’t like was the room did not have an outside facing window, it did have a balcony door, but this opened onto a corridor! I was only there overnight so wasn’t a problem but if I was staying longer this would be a problem, and this was not specified in the reservation

The hotel is located on the fourth floor of a shopping center with a small lobby on the first floor. Many rooms do not have a window. You must pay extra to get a "Deluxe" room with a window. The beds are very firm but the rooms are nice and roomy. The staff is very nice and willing to accommodate needs and requests, Airport transfers are available for a fee.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Large clean room. Staff is friendly and front desk staff was helpful with questions and planning. Mattress was the hardest I ever slept on. Thin mattress on a board. A good bed is pretty basic to decent stay. Multiple roosters just below our room kept us up most of the night. Cold shower and had to ask for soap. Restaurant was convenient and low priced but below average. We stayed based on recommendation of our dive boat Aggressor which picked us up late afternoon. Hotel was not flexible on late checkout despite a significant number of boat guests each week from Aggressor. We paid for extra half day, although the hotel rate is not that high. Suggest you stay at another hotel

I paid for checkin luggage on line with a link they sent me with the invoice and at check in they had no record of it being paid. I gave them an invoice number and they did t know how to pull it up. I had to go to my cc transactions to prove payment and then they couldn’t figure out how to clear it out of the system so they could check us in. The whole process took 35 min with no apologies

Don’t let the front entrance fool you. The street side is extremely busy, noisy, and rather dirty. Once inside the hotel the small lobby is quite nice. The rooms are above are quiet and it feels completely different from outside. Two of us shared a room with two large beds quite spacious. We had a balcony with a commanding view of the bay. Breakfast buffet was enough mostly Filipino foods but did have toast and buns, oatmeal, cold cereals. The only complaint was the TV did not get any stations. Also the obscured glass enclosure for bathroom is not very private, especially with light on in bathroom. You can definitely see shadows of person inside and noise was not insulated. Parts of the glass covering were peeling so it was clear. Close to everything the SM Mall is 10 minutes away by walking also the bay front walk is around the corner. There is pharmacy downstairs as well as a supermarket and local department store

Hotel is adequate. Be aware of its limitations.

Conveniently located; odd layout configuration of rooms, hallways, stairways. Many rooms lack views (have windows to inner hallways). Place seems very old, in need of a facelift. Rooftop is not very welcoming. Bed mattresses are very hard. No bath soap or hand soap provided; must ask to have them in room. Staff was pleasant. Good security at front door/lobby. Breakfast offered had a nice range of food (including made-to-order omelets). Happy hour pricing was very inexpensive. Note: hotel is hard pressed to give confirmation of reservation. Several of my friends double booked for same nights, for fear of not having a room when not needed. Confirmations come very late after reserving, if at they come at all.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The room that got assigned to us didnt’t have any windows so that a bummer. It’a also located at the central of the town on a very busy street next to a wet market. But with all the hussle and bussle, outside noise and smell of the wet market I enjoyed our stay. It was in a convenien location walking distance to the Bay Walk, market, stores, and transportation. The room was very clean and modern along with the complementary filipino-style buffet breakfast. If peace, quiet, great view is your thing … this is not the hotel for you. But if you need a clean hotel with very good service that’s close to everything this hotel is highly recommended.

The hotel is located centrally. Is clean. But the service and the staff are the worst. They didn’t have hand wash, towels in the room. Even after asking they delivered them after 30 mins. They couldn’t give water for the welcome drink. Welcome drink is such a bluff. They kept putting things on each other. Gym didn’t even have a water tap. Staff service was the worst. While I was waiting to be served the staff at the restaurant kept on taking other guest queries. How rude and unprofessional. Would not recommend to stay.
