Good hotel in Davao
Pros:

Royal Mandaya is an institution in Davao. It’s when you know, you know.
Staff were polite as usual
Building is well maintained albeit on the old side
Comfy bed and pillow
Elegant evenings
Free basement parking unlike the rest of the establishments in the city
Overall, it’s giving proper hotel comfort. A comfort that condo rentals could never give you. I hope hotel scene in Davao remains strong despite the rise of condo rentals.

Cons:

That there’s no exhaust in the bathroom
No elevator to the basement parking (maybe there is but we just didn’t find)
Nothing else that we couldn’t fix
