We planned to take an overnight stay before heading to Pangasinan for a short trip. Numerous hotel along the waterfront strip were the options. After days of deliberation with my wife, we finally decided to book at this hotel. Reviews were somehow truthful until we set our foot into their lobby.
Reception- the gentleman behind the counter was helpful and accommodating. My wife was asked to wait for awhile while the room is being prepared. Lobby area made the wait worthwhile. It was clean, nostalgic, and relaxing. Room was ready in just few minutes. My 2 lovely kids immediately took big steps into their cinderella like stairway.
Room- spacious, clean and well ventilated. Though we were unable to get the beachfront room, fair enough we got the next best spot. Few things that annoyed us..... first, the bathroom floor was always flooded with water. We stayed at the 3rd floor right in front of the the stairs. Secondly, we were told that extra blankets will be charged for a certain amount. We took in anyways. Last but not the least, you will be forced to take shower inside the elevated bathtub. Careful on how you get in and out. Room service was quite impressive. We asked for some utensils and got delivered to our room instantly. Neil, if I’m not mistaken was the person who delivered our requests. He even asked if we need something else. Hospitality at its best!
Restaurant- we booked for a table of 6. Everything seemed to be as usual until the foods were served. Pasta was a bit dry and lack of sauce. It was a white sauce pasta with mushrooms. Crispy binagoongan was as salty as the pacific ocean! It was like eating salt with some chunks of pork. Adobong pusit was also a disaster! It was more sour than sinigang! The way Sisig was prepared even worst. Bland, served cold and unseasoned. Luckily Pansit saved the night. Not to mention the pork with rice which was also nice. I tried to share my feedback to the gentleman incharged. Empathy was given to us.
Overall, the staffs were accomodating. We were allowed to bring in some alcohols in the pool since the restaurant was about to close. Pool area cleanliness can be improved. Pathway from pool to the tiny door beside toilets requires some touch up. It doesn’t feel safe walking on that area. Too bad that we came in a rainy day. Nonetheless, I would still give this place another chance.

Older hotel with really nice decor. Very clean considering the age of the hotel compared to the newly built accommodations around the area but still well maintained. Recommend that they replace the bed as it is a little firmer than what I was used to. Included breakfast (plated) is very delicious and satisfying. I like that the property is within a few steps to the beach and its almost next to Pier one (resto/bar) where theres night time live band entertainment and food to order.

This was a quick stay. This hotel is budget friendly. Different reviews had talked about the internet connections but I found no problems with it. Definitely ask for a room away from the street because it can get noisy for those who want to sleep. It is true as many reviews said about the music from a popular hangout just down the street. All in all, I was pleased with my stay. The staff is very attentive and strive to make you happy.
