We arrived at about 5pm, check in was a big problem, it seemed to take a very long time partly due to the fact the receptionist was dealing with many other people at the same time, eventually after completing the paperwork she told us to wait. Wait we did, what for? Well they were checking the rooms. The whole thing took 30 mins. We were told the wifi was not very good but they were going to fix it, when? It was useless. So was the phone signal, none due to the room being completely encased with the building. The windows in the rooms had been blocked up as next door there was a large building being erected within inches. Yes it was noisy. The beds were small and hard. The shower had the electrical connection within the cubicle, a very dangerous hazard. There are no room safes, no refrigerators, no kettles. If you want the room cleaned you have to be in the room, quite difficult if you have gone out for the day as when you return the cleaners have gone home. Breakfast is buffet style, horrible cold fried eggs, pink processed sausages, stodgy cheap rice, powdered sweet fruit juice all definitely worth a miss. Hotels of this low standard should be half the price. On reading other reviews it appears the theft of guests property is common and I guess that is why you have to be in the room when it is cleaned, easy solution, install room safes, problem gone away but maybe the owners don'y want to spend the money like they could by making the wifi work. Give it a miss and until they wake up and get their act together. On the positive side it is right bang in the...
Read moreOK no way to candy coat this. I did NOT like this place.||||1. Room we received was not the room we saw online in photo. "No other rooms available" was the only answer. Coron was pretty well booked being Chinese New Year. We had limited options so we elected to stay. Had to pay in full in advance.||||2. BS Rule #1 - no food or drink allowed in your room......later found out it was because of the ants. Tiny ones come in mass from the drains. They would cover any food and my pretty well rinsed toothbrush. Hence the rule. No Food or Drink in the room.||||3. BS Rule #2 Noone except the authorized guests were allowed into the rooms. You were supposed to meet in the "restaurant" which was always closed except for breakfast.||||4. After ants we asked for a different room. None available. I did ask why they did not treat for the ants. The desk clerk did not know what I was talking about. Asked for refund. Was refused. We left. working with my credit card company.||||||Closing thoughts||||The rooms were actually nice. Clean except the ants. Large. Bed was decent. Location was very good. Coron is gorgeous.||||No mini fridge. no wifi (was supposed to be)||||Worst part was the desk clerk. Totally uninterested and apathetic in doing anything to help us in anyway. I was polite the entire time. Nothing mattered after being...
Read moreI stayed here for a business trip. I requested for an ocean view room but the attendant said the rooms facing the ocean had poor wifi signal and she was right. The mobile phone signal was also very poor from my room so I couldn't access the internet through my phone either. The view from my room also wasn't that refreshing. The room was spacious, clean and had the basic necessities. There wasn't a mini bar though. Coffee or tea also wasn't available in the room. You would have to call room service or go to their restaurant at the ground floor. The elevator wasn't working when I checked in so I had to use the stairs to get to the my room.
The room rates included breakfast. I had lamayo (danggit) with fried rice and egg and they were perfect!
The hotel is halfway to the baywalk and the main street where the restaurants, bars and other establishments are. You would have to walk a little to get to both locations.
The staff were courteous and friendly. Airport transfers are also available for a minimal fee.
Considering that this is a 2-star hotel, it has the potential to get good ratings if the facilities...
