Out-dated decor crying for rennovation
Staff was pleasant and helpful.
5.7
The building is rather unattractive, as is the interior decor. The location is good. The pool is so small it is meaningless. Carpeting throughout hotel seemed moldy. New username and password needed for wifi every 24 hours (tedious.) Breakfast was bad.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Plantation Bay isn't bad for a day trip with your honey, but I couldn't fathom staying there much more than that, after traveling across the globe. I guess I'm not a resort person and like to get out more than some people. If you do take a taxi to Plantation Bay, be aware of a scam that they ran on me: Upon wanting to leave, we asked for a taxi and were told that none were available. The transportation desk then tried to rent us a private car at three times the taxi rate. We declined and were then told to "just be patient" and sit down while we waited for somebody to happen to come by and get dropped off in a taxi. After 15 minutes of waiting, I asked to speak to any manager that spoke English really well. I vented at the lady that assisted me about the surprise of not being able to leave as we came and at the seeming pressure to hire a private car. When I say I vented, I mean I really insinuated without making accusations. She apologized profusely and promised me a taxi immediately. Sure enough, after I made it clear that I wasn't hiring a car, I was angry, and I wasn't going to wait any longer (or else I'd get loud,)a metered taxi magically appeared. It was a scam from the start.

A good Hotel near to everything.
A goo Oldfashioned Feeling
8.3
This Hotel is set well back from a main road, while it is quiet, it has good availability of taxis, and is even within reasonable walking distance of Ayala Mall and Osmena Circle. with safe streets, at lest in Daylight! The Hotel entry and Front desk staff were god, but I was surprised to have to give a 2000 pesos 'Damage deposit"for the room. this is the first time in over 40 years or professional Business travel world wide, more that 80 countries!
The breakfast was good in a smart annex to the hotel's entrance.
All in all enjoyable.

The hotel was ok though somehow different from the photo in the internet. But I did enjoy my stay. And the staff readily fixed some problems I had like the lighting and turning on the television.

Is there anything GRAND at this hotel?
4.7
I was not pleased with the room in the hotel. There was doo-doo in the toilet when i entered the room which made it obvious that it wasn't cleaned well. The room is stripped down completely. Nothing about the place made me feel good or comfortable. 20 year old carpet squares on the floor were damp and i felt i needed to keep shoes on my feet. The mini bar was completely empty with a list of contents next to it saying it contained drinks which i would be expected to pay for upon leaving.
Hotel Feature Tip:
Spend a little more and get a better hotel.
