Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing due to the room being extremely loud, making it hard to sleep with the noise from outside. On the positive side, the rooms were very clean and just the right size, not too small or too big. The service, on the other hand, was very helpful and friendly, which was a redeeming quality of my experience.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms facing the pool area, which was bustling with people. Despite some stagnant water at times, the room availability was limited until 3pm. The staff provided professional and friendly service, although there were some lapses in consideration. The location was central in Butuan City, close to key spots and within walking distance of the city center. The dining experience was described as ordinary, with reasonably good options available. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a wall of windows, conveniently only available at 3pm. The service was top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff. The location is central, within walking distance of the city center and malls. Dining was reasonably good, mainly focused on Filipino food. Overall, a comfortable stay with some constraints.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although fairly priced, was extremely loud, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. On the bright side, the complimentary breakfast was a nice addition, but overall, the noise was a significant issue during our stay.
I absolutely loved the convenient location of the hotel, close to malls and restaurants. The room was cozy with a great bed, but there was a slight smell and lacking amenities like slippers and a hairdryer. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch.
The hotel rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped; however, they overlooked a busy alley with constant staff movement day and night. The service was top-notch, with super nice and professional staff, although the late-night check-in lacked the expected warmth. The location was conveniently close to a church and key city spots, with easy access to SM Mall. The dining experience was reasonably good but had occasional seating challenges. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room view drawbacks.
