We stayed here because it was the only place that was within our budget. This place had so many things wrong: location, too far from the city center, is that mold in the closet?, rooms need refurbishing/cleaning, the restaurant isn't really open unless you pre-order, wi-fi very very slow. The Elizabeth Hotel just around the corner is a little bit more. All in all, I think it's the location that was a downer - there aren't any restaurants nearby, etc. Wright Park is within walking distance but that's it. The Botanical Gardens which is also nearby is not really worth seeing these days because it is full of litter.
Ridgewood Hotel was my first choice because I wanted an authentic Baguio experience. The architecture and surroundings definitely provide that experience, compared with other hotels which look and feel like any other typical hotel. It's also nicely located: near enough to the city center, but far enough from the main street to provide a rural and quiet environment. The staff are friendly, courteous, and always ready to assist. The amenities are quaint but adequate. The menu has an impressive selection and is reasonably priced, but it would have been great if all of the items were available. It's a really nice place but needs to be better-maintained. Housekeeping seemed lacking in thoroughness. Nevertheless, Ridgewood would still be my first choice the next time I'd need a hotel in Baguio.…
The Junior Suite room we got is perfect for writing and relaxing but reasonably priced. The room is conveniently spacious with balcony, refrigerator, and amenities to make stay relatively relaxing. Mines view park is quite near and walking distance for those who enjoy hiking / sightseeing and buying souvenirs . Restaurants are plentiful and no traffic as compared to Hotels in the Session and Burnham areas. The staff are courteous and well trained in handling travelers , specially Senior Citizens like us. We also enjoyed the live music at the Hotel Restaurants which is scheduled on Friday and Saturday , 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm . The only problem will be the barking of dogs, as our location is side of residential areas with still several Pine Trees but already very quite at 10:00 pm. Buffet breakfast is also available between 7:00 am to 10:00 am , ANTONIO F. MATEO , PH.D.…
Whenever we go to Baguio, we always stay at this lovely hotel. I love the location of this hotel-- it is walking distance to the Mansion, Wright Park and a commercial place where there are lots of restaurants and cafes. I love the breakfast at Ridgewood. They would serve corned beef, eggs, fried rice and dried fish/shrimp which I always crave whenever I go to the Philippines. The last time we stayed at this hotel, we booked the City Suite which has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two balconies. The view from the window is the Mansion. My family had a fantastic time just relaxing , bonding, and catching up with each other at Ridgewood. Our room felt so homey and cozy and I loved every bit of our stay at Ridgewood.
Yes coming from a person who is always in hotels. Really poor customer experience. Food is limited, in our stay the breakfast “buffet” is composed of egg, corned beef, and garlic rice. Wifi is undependable, and the STAFF? Oh the experience. Nothing commendable really. except maybe the size of the room. Also this is the only hotel where food service depends on the availability of the chef, which in our stay was zero. STAY AWAY!
