Comprehensive Guide
-
Cost Effectiveness
Not the best by any means if you’re paying the full rate for outdated rooms, but if you are able to snag a promotional rate, the hotel does offer pretty good value.
-
Staff Performance
Service is standard for a large, busy hotel, staff are efficient and can cater to requirements but not with the flair smaller property would have.
-
Location
The location in Davao is unbeatable for downtown access. Very convenient to explore on foot the commercial and cultural heart of the city.
-
Area Vibe
Vibrant and bustling. People’s Park is right within the vicinity, as are shopping malls, the night market, and lots of restaurants.
-
Overall Cleanliness
Keeping clean can be a huge issue at the hotel. Rooms look fine, but some guests complain about the aging bathrooms and old carpets. It simply lacks general upkeep.
-
Breakfast Experience
The breakfast buffet is huge but all too often of poor quality; it gets very crowded and the choices are tepid at best.
-
Bed & Pillows
Beds were big, but mattress and linens were dated – level of comfort doesn’t meet the standards of a modern hotel.
-
Wi-Fi Performance
Free Wi-Fi provided but can be quite slow and spotty in such a large older building, especially in rooms further from the lobby.
-
Room Freshness
The hotel feels very much like a product of the past era. Its decoration, technology, and overall aesthetic are extremely dated and need complete overhauls.
-
Peace & Quiet
Noise from the busy city streets can be an issue in some rooms, and internal noise from events or hallways can also travel.
-
Long-Term Livability
The spacious rooms are good for a longer stay, but the overall tired condition of the hotel might make it a less comfortable experience over time.
-
Parking Convenience
The hotel provides free secure on-site parking, free parking for gues’s which is a huge convenience for guests driving in the busy downtown area.
