Pros:

Proximity to a commercial zone and a shelter for the night (which was the main reason I checked in).

Cons:

Internet connectivity was on and off in my room. Drinking glasses at the lobby were all used and no replacement made for the next guests even after I asked for it. For a very hot day, this would have been a lovely thing for customers to enjoy.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Breakfast was not included in the price. We found several cockroaches in our rooms. The staff offered for us to change rooms, but there were still roaches. We had to purchase our own roach traps/spray since the hotel did not offer anything of the sort.

Friendly staff, but the outdated rooms, cleanliness concerns, and noise made our stay below expectations.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The hotel is outdated. The elevator is very limited (max 3 people and strict weight capacity), which is inconvenient. Upon entering the room, there were mosquitoes inside. The room and bathroom did not meet cleanliness standards. The bathroom felt old—the shower knob came off when used, and the shower floor was not tiled. You can also hear noise from outside, including neighbors closing doors and talking. Overall, the facilities need significant improvement and did not meet expectations.

It’s a nice place hopefully they will add hair dryers. And for sure we will book again for our business trips in Laoag.
Pros:

It’s affordable and the location is near malls and the university I visited

Cons:

Only thing is that, I was given a room that needed to take the stairs and you can hear that they are doing some constructions in the another room however I truly understand the situation so I still recommend it.

Great location and friendly staff.
Pros:

The location is very good, just across Robinsons mall, restaurants, groceries and a bank. The check in is seamless as well as the check out. The staff are all accommodating as I requested hair dryer and iron.

Cons:

The heater in the shower takes time to warm up. Also the restaurant that serves breakfast opens at 7am, maybe they can open early for those travelling.

Less than...
Pros:

The location is what keeps this hotel alive (imo).

Cons:

Everything else is underwhelming. The cost should be atleast 500php less per night. Tv volumes jumps or isn't loud enough, hot water is better during the day and not night (when its necessary), window view isn't really a view
