Reginald

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff tried to make up for the inadequacies. The lounge was used as a room for local tenants. Bed was terrible. Tv wasn’t working. Room was malodorous. The electricity power went off only to receive apologies that they are working to fix the generator. To summarise, it’s a rundown hotel, which have not been refurbished for years. Furniture is archaic and the bed is the worst in the world. Terrible place .. very disappointing from what it was 5 years ago.

Nice and quiet place to stay

Nice place to stay. Friendly staff and a good breakfast included each morning. I used the laundry and airport service and they both were good. The price is reasonable and the only negative thing is getting used to the frequent power outages, but that usually takes five minutes before they turn on the generator. An automated service switching between the EDSA and the generator would be recommended.
