Almost everything was great. The bed was comfortable, the AC was cold, the water pressure was good. We were on the 8th floor. Wi-Fi was weak. During the morning hot water was sometimes lacking during what we figured was peak usage. 24 hour security guards was nice. Definitely will stay here again.

One of my favorite places to stay in Dumaguete. Great staff, comfortable rooms, and fair online booking price. Negatives: Water pressure somewhat weak in bathroom sink and shower; free breakfast buffet often cold and in bad need of more and better choices...

Reasonable hotel with a buffet breakfast ( limited non-Philippines options). The wifi in our room kept cutting out but seemed Ok in the common areas. Several Xmas functions held in the hotel during our 3 night stay. A little noisy but finished by 10pm.
