Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. The amenities look modern and clean, which is a plus, and the affordability can't be overlooked. However, the lack of proper facilities and the very ordinary breakfast buffet left much to be desired. I appreciated the hassle-free check-in process, but certain services felt poorly maintained.

I’ve been staying at this hotel for years when I visit Zamboanga, but it seems to be losing its charm. The facilities are getting run down, especially in the older building. There’s a persistent unpleasant smell in the new building’s rooms, possibly from the sewer. Although the cleanliness is decent, the odor is bothersome. The front desk staff could use some training to improve their service, making it less welcoming. On a brighter note, they provide airport transport and a basic breakfast.

I decided to give this hotel a try despite some mixed reviews. The breakfast was quite limited and chaotic, and the room I received felt dusty and not as spacious as I expected. On the bright side, the location was convenient, and some staff members were helpful. However, the water pressure in the shower was disappointing, and there were some oddities like a TV mounted on the ceiling without a remote. Overall, for the price, I feel there are better options available that might offer a more pleasant experience.

I have stayed at this hotel multiple times, but my last visit was quite disappointing. While the location is good and the room size is generous, the maintenance is lacking, especially in terms of smell and facilities. The service was frustrating, with unhelpful front desk staff, making my experience less enjoyable. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option, but you get what you pay for.

This hotel offers decent value for money with a good strategic location, though it does come with some downsides. The rooms are spacious and clean, but the overall maintenance could use some improvement. While the staff is friendly, their training seemed lacking. The dining options are average, with a rather ordinary breakfast buffet. If you're looking for a budget stay and can overlook some imperfections, this might be a good choice.

The hotel has a decent location, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are in need of improvement and cleanliness could be better. While there's ongoing renovation, some facilities still feel outdated and there are noise issues from the hallways. Overall, it’s a fair price, but I believe other options may offer a better experience.

My stay was quite disappointing overall. The hotel offered free breakfast and airport transfer, but I wasn't informed about it until check-in, making me miss the airport shuttle. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low, and despite multiple complaints, no one addressed the issue. While the location in Zamboanga is beautiful, especially the pink sand beaches, my experience at this hotel left much to be desired.
