I stayed at RedDoorz near KCC Mall Gensan and honestly, I didn’t expect to love it this much. The place is surprisingly peaceful....you’ll literally hear birds chirping in the morning, which I only truly appreciated after staying here for just one night (more than I did during my 5-night stay back in February!). Sometimes less is more, and peace and quiet hit differently.
I also love the flowers in front of the property....such a simple detail, but if you’re someone who appreciates nature, you’ll definitely notice it. This spot is perfect if you want peace of mind, some alone time, or if you just happened to end up in General Santos City and need a quiet retreat.

The hotel is less than 10 minutes away from major malls, so that may help a little.||||Overall, it is a hotel really for backpackers who plan only on a very short stay and not something I would recommend to other types of travelers.||||Stayed in Room 10...
Read moreFor price, this place is worth it, especially for a short stay. Room was exceptionally clean and was comfortable. Although the bathroom was small, it didn't have any weird, funny smells, and their amenities worked well with no issues. I would stay here again. I did an overnight visit with my sister. Recommended. Location wise, it's close to everything. It's just hidden away and there isn't a proper road which is muddy...
