The hotel is located in a semi-commercial area of the city, very quiet even at night, my room faces the street on the 3rd floor and the staff are excellent and they can tell you what can be found in the surrounding areas, you are within minutes away from People's Park, Guisano supermarket, Mc Donald and 7-11. For non-picky there are canteens and mom & pop eatery places near the hotel.
Transportation to and fro to places you want to see there are a taxi's or a jeepney ride infront of the hotel and ask the hotel staff how to travel to some good destination in the city, they are exceptional helpful.
I stayed at the hotel for 5 days for business and pleasure but unfortunately I had some not so good experience in this hotel, I have no complain about the hotel staff but the hotel itself,the room is mediocre, the bathroom door cannot be locked, the shower area has a musty odor needs some clean-up, the bed though queen size is short in length for a tall person, the bedsheet & bedcover was not changed for a week, 2 bath towel and 2 teeny weeny soap were provided during my stay( I brought with me 2 towels and a big bar of soap) at nite there are small roaches crawling on the floor and mosquitos and there are no places where decent breakfast is served unless you loved Mc Donald and 7-11 stores.
