Worst hotel

Bad from start it's part of a mall. It had broken lift to reception so had to use stairs. Breakfast was served on the cafe in the he main mall area no menu. Room had dirty towel. Also one of the rooms we got had no bottles of water. We had kettle cups no coffee or milk. We had ants in rooms. Shower in one was dirty and the doors were dirty. Stains on socket and mold. Chair material broken stuffing showed. Rooms for rent for 3 hours this shows by conditions.

Get away after Pandemic.

If you just wanted to sleep overnight. Its ok to book this hotel. Stayed for 4 nights 5 days with my Family. Please dont include breakfast in your hotel bookings its my biggest mistake. Better have your breakfast outside a lot of choices and more cheaper.

Avoid this hotel at all cost!

There's no heater in the shower!!! They'll tell you about it only during check-in. They gave me an excuse that it broke down just recently, but as I learned from a local Bicolano this hotel never really had any heater. And when I asked the lady receptionist what my options are, she told me to use the kettle... I was speechless. Wi-fi rarely works in the room. You have to sit and stay in their dusty hallway to be able to use their wi-fi properly. Doors are busted and you need to kick it so it will close and lock. I'm never coming back.

Transit hotel.

When I arrived I was told there was no hot water available due to ongoing renovation. Airport transportation is not available until after 8 AM. The elevator call button was inoperative. You had to take the stairs to leave. The room floor was so dirty that you left black footprints in the white bathroom if your shoes were wet.

Was okay. The room had plenty of space. But tv wasnt working, cable was out and we had asked multiple times for toiletries that never came. Floor was very dusty. Otherwise, it was close to restairants with a good view of the ocean and Mt Mayon

35 php for am coffee!?! Not complimentary!?!

I rented the harbor view queen suite. It’s a wonderful view. There is a 3km walk along the bay which is also terrific. Unfortunately the Embarcadero mall has contracted and not given the proper attention it is due. As for the hotel, there is a good need for painting or cleaning of the salsa and Doors on the outside of the room. I need my coffee fix in am and while they left an electric kettle, one would have to pay 35 php for a sachet of coffee or tea. First time I have seen this. Being an engineer you certainly shake your head on the poor structural design of the building. The view is obscured by concrete columns. The elevator elevation transitions. Nonetheless you can’t beat the price and of course I love the harbor view. I would stay here again, but done expect 4 or 5 star service. It could easily be one if there is money thrown at it once again

Just all wrong and complete waste of money.

The hotel is nothing like the brochure an I mean nothing, we where in a room that was like in a dungeon know windows, that it was supposed to have, the floor was filthy after u had a shower there was a centimetre of water around the toilet that did not ever drain away 1 light didn’t work, when I went to complain they told me they were book out an nothing could be done (not even come have a look at the room). The next day talked to the same duty manger and said we were booking out she could not understand why, and then said would you like to transfer to another room, I told them to late that I had found other accommodation elsewhere, know apologies just that they don’t refund money. NOT HAPPY I would never go there again ever, not happy with hotel.com for even having that place onsite, an probably wouldn’t book back through them again either because of what happened.

Disappointing

Disappointed with the hotels current condition. Ceiling leaks, floor laminate on the second uneven, unsafe to walk on, dark hall way to the rooms, ants in the room. False photo on website. Hard to find. No signs to locate the Hotel and the entrance to the hotel.

Uncomfortable room

The aircon is not working properly. We have to call the front desk to send someone and fix it. The door is hard to open and hard to enter the room due to limited entrance space. No complimentary bottled water available also in the room. And the room has foul smell also.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The ambience is a total disappointment as it looks like abandoned, no greeting staff at the entrance, can't find people around except at the lobby. As we enter the lobby, the lights are dim, though looks spacious, no people around and the smell at the entrance is stale comparable to a fish market with rotten fishes. As we enter the room, the smell gets stronger, I looked for a window to get a better ventilation, nothing, suggested to staff to spray a freshner, nothing. We stayed for 15 min, I started to cough and couldn't breath properly because of the stale and smell in the room. I vomited following the constant coughing as if there was an irritant to my respiratory system. I demanded full refund but only half was granted
