Staying in this place is a nightmare! From booking the room til the very end of the experience had been very stressful for us. First, the reception was very rude and had no regard for customer service. Rhea, the receptionist was making her own rules and kept on lying which can be gleaned in the inconsistencies of her statements. It seemed one of her job descriptions is to pissed customers. Their check-in time still at 3PM, but we were already at the hotel around 1PM, so we asked for an early check-in. However, they were asking us to pay Php1000.00 for a two-hour advance check-in which we find very unreasonable. I would understand if it were an early morning check-in, but it was past check-out time (12 noon) already. Second, they like to keep you waiting. Because they won't allow us to check-in early, we had to leave for a 2PM appointment so we had to deposit our bags. We waited for 20 mins for their agent to arrive at the lobby to assist us with our bag deposit. What's stupid is sending a petite lady to carry 2 large backpacks from the hotel to the other building across the street (designated deposit area is there). Considering the lady's strength, we opted to deposit our bags to the other reception area (not theirs). In the evening when we were ushered to our room, even with advice that we are arriving, we still waited for 10 mins for their agent. While still in the elevator, their agent (not in uniform and looks like about to scam us) was asking for an absurd deposit fee of Php4000.00 for a night's stay. This is twice the room cost, and something I had never encountered in any hotel before because other hotels usually asked for a bond equivalent to your room rate only. Because we were not prior told of this policy and having no enough cash in hand, we had to surrender my passport. Finally, the most disappointing part is the plight of the room. The auto-lock door knob was loose and not screwed tightly therefore leaving a feeling of insecurity because that is the only door lock. A whole on the wall was taped and looked like something was stuffed inside. The things inside were unruly and disorganized. The sofa was very dirty, and so as the kitchen wares. It seemed that the bed linen was unwashed. The toilet has no hot and cold and the sliding door was broken. We even saw a cockroach on the wall. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anybody. This place even has to be closed for that matter if these things persist.
