Breakfast were excellent only if you love rice or fried rice.Choices of breakfast daily are changing. Hotels are very accessible to all the malls and nearby tourist spot to visit. The housekeeper were always there to clean our rooms everyday. Would like to commend them for their hard work and all the help that they can do to make our stay comfortable.Kudos to Jonabel from the housekeeping department because she helped us from moving to the othe room because wifi is not working from the first room assignment and I really need it (wifi)to finish the report that I need to submit in my work.You guys are amazing.We are looking forward to stay here again in the future.

The only thing I don’t like is the visibility of Room number in the key cards.For safety reason, if I lost the key card somewhere else and someone will saw it, it will be a big trouble because the information of the hotel and the room number is transparent in the key card.

Stayed here for 10 nights. Staff are very kind. The cleaning lady was the best, always smiling. Must be the best hotel in dumaguete city (not talking about the resorts). 5 min walk to the boulevard, room was modern, clean and big, hot water, breakfast was enough for me. I asked for a room not facing the street and it was very quiet. Safe in the room. Underground parking for motorcycle. Would definitely come back.

Kettle was fall of limescale so I did not use. One of the elevators did not work.

Clean. Rooms were a good size, air conditioned and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Jethro s was very friendly and shirked me to the places I needed to go and I was able to charge the fees to my room.

Breakfast buffet was good but it would’ve been nice to have a bigger selection.

The location and the room itself

While having breakfast with the fam one of the staff just randomly give out the receipt of the total bill to us. I feel so disrespected for that action unfortunately I forgot to take that name of the staff but this should goes out to all the staff in F & B. it's not even the halfway of our breakfast.very disrectful.

The hotel has a little old world feel of New Orleans, LA. Wood floors instead of carpet. It has iron-grill verandas so it's romantic in a simple way.

It's OK if there's no face cloth but I would love to have a wash cloth. The pillow is not thick enough to elevate my head but if there's two pillows, that would work.

The breakfast was not up to what I am accustomed to getting. But, it did do its job. The selection is very limited, I am a bit of a health freak, so I don't eat pork, and I don't like my eggs cooked with oil. The selection is super limited, but for the price of the room, you can't complain.

The bed was a bit stiff, but you can't expect an amazing bed with the price that is given.

Great staff, excellent location, nice and spacious room. The included breakfast was very good each day and the overall cleanliness of the facility and our room were very good. We will definitely be staying here during our next visit to Dumaguete

Only one elevator was working g most of the time which made waiting for an elevator very long at times

The location is relatively distant to Rival Boulevard, around 15min walking. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is very close to Silliman University, 10 minutes by walk. Suitable for those visitors to the university.

The breakfast is simple and the selection is limited. Only one lift is available while the other is under repair. Sound proof need improve. The machine noise makes loud sound throughout the whole night.

Good location and helpful staff.

Not a great choice of breakfast. Ques of people Waiting for the toaster, maybe a couple more would be good. Had to ask for tea but they did find me some. They charged me 48pesos for a teabag to take to the room, though that a bit much!
