Horrible customer service
Pros:

The property will be OK if they did not treat the guest as they do… have you ever been charged for breaking a glass by accident? Only in Somerset Valero.. and they charged 12times the price of the glass (it was an Ikea glass and charged 900PHP)

Cons:

Bad experience - wrong treatment
Pros:

The property is well located and clean

Cons:

The property has lost their mind with the policies. They charged me 870PHP for breaking a glass by accident.. this will be the first time that a reputable hotel or restaurant charges me for breaking a glass by accident.

Best part is that is that it is an IKEA glass (I have pictures) and you can buy 6 for 399 PHP.. I guess that it is a their new way of making a few more pesos..

The room and building aircon temperature is too cold.

Just keep it up. I know once it is fully operational, it can already serve far more better.
Pros:

Considering that this is still on a soft opening stage , it is understandable that the Breakfast is still not so complete. Anyways, it is already decent enough. In addition that the crew are very accommodating to the needs of their customer.

Cons:

So far since its still new, I didn't see any significant issues.
