The room we were staying at 6:01 had a lot of insects and bugs in the room. You need to spray your rooms for bug repellent. The window was also leaking water from the rain on the headboard side of the bed on the floor other than that thank you very much

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a disappointing experience during my recent stay. The buffet breakfast was cold, and we woke up to find there was no water available in the morning. As a result, we couldn't flush the toilet or take a shower before our departure. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place based on our experience.

I showed an hour early and when I asked to check in I was reminded that check-in is 2pm and asked to wait until then. Also, the rat I observed running through the dining room during breakfast made me lose my appetite and desire to remain in the hotel.

This is our preferred location In Dumaguete. We are always happy with the staff, location, parking, breakfast buffet, and massage and travel services in the lobby. Wifi was marginal, but no other negatives to speak of. I feel very safe and comfortable here and recommend.

When we checked out they made us wait until someone could go to the room and check it for who know what before we could check out. I have never been asked this before and was strongly offended.
