Hotel That Keeps You Fit."because no elevator”
It was my first time in Subic and First time to spend out of town with my wife. We look at the internet hotels where we can stay for 3 days, while searching for the hotel we look for the facilities and the location as well. And Ridgecrest Garden Hotel has a perfect location because it is walking distance at SM Olongapo and Harbor point... although they don't serve meals but the location is easy access to commercial establishments and malls. The hotel have friendly and hospitable staff, wherein they assist their client to the best of their ability.

Worth the price”
My second stay in this hotel. Only for a short vacation for bonding with friends next to Subic Freeport area. There is no elevator and will never be. The aircon is working silently. A big bonus. The bathroom is OK. Don't expect a breakfast and there is also no restaurant or whatever. But nothing to worry: Leave the hotel and you are surrounded by everything you need. SM Olongapo is only 3 min. to walk. Nice and friendly staff... after you entered the reception on the second floor by using the stairs.

Great for budget travellers but manage expectation”
We really just needed a room to sleep,shower and put our stuff in and Ridgecrest fit the bill. Rooms were tidy and utilitarian, bathroom had hot and cold water but not as clean as I had hoped. Location was GREAT, just outside the subic freeport gate (thus more affordable), walking distance to 2 malls (SM and Harbor Point), nearby church and surrounded by 24hour convenience stores. Downside is no elevator, street parking only and minimal security. Since we were out most of the day, I would say the hotel served its purpose:)

Staff great but noisy rooms”
Lobby is on third floor, and rooms are on 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors, but there is no elevator; however the staff was great in helping with luggage. Rooms were large and had basic but satisfactory furnishings (must ask for a room with a refrigerator with a slightly higher cost). The rooms have no windows since the building is immediately adjacent to other buildings. The front rooms do have windows, but due to the bar/nightclub right next door having its speakers outside (!), those rooms are incredibly noisy at night. (Staff said that they have complained to the mayor's office, but nothing good ever has happened.) After a couple nights of little sleep because of the loud speakers, we transferred to another room. There is no restaurant, but there are several within a few blocks. Harbor Point is a really nice mall. We had been in Olongapo many years ago and are saddened by the crowding of vendors on the sidewalks, the lack of repairs to the sidewalks, and the noise (jeepneys without mufflers!); the beaches are just not has clean as they used to be and are littered with trash nowadays. Olongapo needs to clean up before it becomes worse.

Good location but hard to commute”
We were attending a conference at nearby Subic Convention and Exhibition Center but choosing this hotel was more for good past reviews than location. Our rooms are located in 4th floor and we had to carry heavy luggage (no elevators, we know it prior) on the way up. One staff helped us though. But apart from that, all else is okay. No food provided at hotel but you can find many places to eat outside. If you fancy Filipino food chains like Max, Mang Inasal or Jollibee, they're just a few minutes walk. Also a big SM mall is just nearby if you need to buy grocery or extra clothing. For some reasons, we had hard time to find transport to our venue even if it's a bit close to the hotel.

deceptive facade but very comfortable hotel”
the hotel is located at the seedy side of olongapo. there are bars just beside it. the lobby is located at the 3rd floor so when we ascended to it i was apprehensive because the stairs looks dirty. i hope they will replace it with tiles so that they can clean it easily. the rooms and beds are very okay though, the children liked it instantly. in fact they wanted to linger more and wished they could return in the hotel, it was indeed a good hotel except for its location and the untidy stairs.

great value for money”
We definitely got the value of our money during our stay in this hotel. Location is great. It's just a walking distance to malls, shops, and diners. Customer service was great. The receptionists and the owners were prompt in attending to our needs and in offering their services. Room was clean and well maintained. However, I think the remote control and TV needs to be replaced as it clearly has discolored monitor (such a pain in the eyes!). They also do not serve breakfast but since its just near diners and restaurants, this wouldn't be a problem. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay in the hotel that we extended for another night.

Nice Affordable Hotel”
The hotel is very accessible from all establishments, like mall, spa, restaurants, market and everything. The receptionist is very nice and friendly. He help us to manage our service for our tour. The room is small but comfortable, clean and reasonable in price.

Better to choose Deluxe”
The difference of room quality between Standard and Deluxe is bigger than the price difference, 100 pesos. The Deluxe room I stayed was enough clean and comfortable although there were no windows for fresh air. It would be enough just for staying overnights.

Good location with so-so amenities”
The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. They were quick to respond to and assist us with our concerns. The TV was a real disappointment though. It was a tiny CRT TV which really made viewing a hassle. Secure parking was also a bit of an issue since we had to park alongside the street. And the wi-fi was really weak in our room so it was practically useless. On the whole,the hotel was a convenient place to stay in. It surely is not a place I would recommend to those looking for a quiet getaway where you could just enjoy being shut inside your hotel room

Small hotel but with friendly staff”
The room we got was good for four but we had one more companion so we asked for extra bed. It costs but was good for the entire 3 days of stay. Room is big for the intended number of occupants. Only thing we also notice that it's a bit dark indoors so lights need to be put on. Also for newcomers hotel is located beside other shops so look closely on the sign amidst all other signages so you don't miss the name. Overall it was a good experience in the hotel even if the challenge of carrying heavy luggage up and down 4 storeys was brief during the beginning and end of our stay.

Very terrible experience”
When I checked in in the afternoon, everything seemed acceptable, at least worth the price. However, when I came back from my tour in Subic Bay and opened the door, a very big COCKROACH just appeared on my room floor! I asked the conciege to solve it and they did send the cleaner to do it. Howevrr, when I waited for the problem to be solved, the conciege asked me "was the cockroach flying?!" just as if these kinds of problem occur very often... After the first cockroach problem, I went back to the room and hoped everything would be better, yet I saw a second COCKROACH on the table immediate. So I really can't stand it and check on right away...I would rather sleep on the beach then sleep with all the cockroaches in the wonderful hotel. By the way, the hotel is very noisy as well. You can hear the TV sound of the other rooms like it is playing in your room. However, compare to the cleanliness issue, this is not even worth mentioned. 簡單來說，這間飯店我一進房間門就看見兩隻蟑螂，所以我就退房了，隔音也不好，我寧可睡在沙灘上也不想住在這兒。

Good location, not suitable for old people”
the hotel is located in a busy street and allows easy access to practically anything as it is about a few meters to a mall. the room was nice and clean. however, for people who intends to bring a car, be prepared to look for a good parking spot at this hotel doesn't offer one. also for old people/or with disabilities, might consider another hotel, as this hotel is located at the 3rd floor of a building with no elevators. overall, a nice place to stay. will sure to stay here again.

Great Hotel and location! ”
I like the room itself.. not too big nor small..just enough for a family of 4 with 1 child.. A/c is cold, bathroom is clean.. Staff are very accommodating and very friendly. The only one thing I dont like is our room is on 4th floor and theres no lift.. Its a good exercise though... =0

Small room, they just clean our room once.”
This hotel is far from the famous beach in (Subic) Olongapo city and our hotel room is just small room, small tv and only 1 to 3 channels only and the tv remote control wasn't even working. The staff just checked it and told us that its broken but they never tried to fix it. The good thing with this hotel is just close to the shopping malls so i dont really stayed in the room.
