Great hotel but can be better
Pros:

Old world charm, rooms were very spacious, located close to SM Mall a d airport. Grounds are very spacious. Will definitely stay here again.
Big shout out to Lawrence on the front desk, very polite and courteous

Cons:

Needs to be upgraded especially in the bathroom...very dated...struggled to turn on the hot water. Some of the building on the outside needs to be repaired urgently.
The breakfast needs to have greater variety.

Pros:

I loved staying at this hotel set in beautiful verdant gardens. Massive in scale, 3 separate housing units. Large verandas. Somewhat dated but maintained with a charm. Staff everywhere were cheerful, pleasant and helpful. Buffet breakfasts were a delight. Oddly enough the bar was not open everyday. A walk to the 7 Eleven was a trip too far, for reference.

Cons:

Not much not too like. Some may say it’s too far to walk. Advice would be to stay elsewhere
