NEVER AGAIN!! I was initially assigned a room accessible only through stairs, the paint on the wall was peeling , toilet flush not working, molds in the toilet , safe box not working. I was transferred to another room, no elevator too,only stairs to access it, the toilet was also full of molds , the same problem with the safe deposit box, the fridge smelled disgusting, stain on the bedsheet , the previous guests’ wifi voucher still by the bedside. I’m too tired and needed to be somewhere so i settled in this room . But then at night when I arrived , I found crawling baby COCKROACHES in my chocolate box, in my toothpaste, in my bedside table . LOTS OF THEM!! The water in the pool too is blurry ! I left the very next morning and found a much cheaper room in a nearby hotel. Smaller room but very clean!!! I am truly disgusted with my experience in this hotel !!! This place needs a serious need of updating. They are expensive too compared to other hotels in this city. …

On my return visit to Zamboanga I chose the Garden Orchid instead of the Marcian Gardens and wasn't disappointed. The GO is always a step ahead, in particular the public areas, and there in particular the large outdoor swimming pool (including a smoking area which is dearly missing in the Marcian Gardens).

I was part of a group of travelers to the Marcian Garden Resort and our stay was arranged by an agent. My experience may therefore not be typical. Pick up at airport on time even though our flight was early. We were allowed to check in early. Room clean and has everything you need: coffee station; free water; TV; warm water; TV. WIFI is very spotty and even if you can connect it is very slow. I used my SIM card instead but one shouldn’t have to go this. They have a small pool. Menu is pretty good. They even had a few vegetarian options. Service was average. Order was correct but waiters distracted. The hotel is designed around an open courtyard with the restaurant in the middle. This means all the rooms will hear the noise emanating from the restaurant. Ok with air conditioning on and ear plugs to sleep IF there are no groups playing loud music. Overall, a reasonable provincial hotel. It’s not swish but perfectly acceptable.…

First, the good points. We were picked up promptly by the hotel shuttle from the airport. Although it is early in the day they were able to check us in. We had a problem the first day however due to noise from above our room. It would seem that there was too much reverberations coming from heavy footsteps by kids after 10 pm. We have to call the front desk several times to address the situation but nothing happened and we have to ask our room to be changed. Another main issue with the hotel is the very spotty internet connection. We can only get a signal in our room toilet and in the buffet restaurant area. The food choices in the breakfast buffet are limited. In general, the hotel appears tired with old carpet and even the new wing appears abandoned.

Hotel venue is very convenient as it is near the airport.. rooms were big ,clean and tidy, friendly staff.. buffet breakfast is lacking..with no choices for vegetarians like myself.. ample parking space for guests .. I have no expectations for this hotel as it’s not very expensive. We did have a good sleep .. all in all it is very good for a hotel in the countryside..

Things went downhill the moment we arrived. Our shuttle bus from the airport did not arrive, after numerous phone call it did. The attached photo is a little puzzling for a 3 star hotel transport service !. There was no hot water in the shower despite various visits by staff it was never rectified. My wife received a call in the room asking if she would be arriving for a second booking that they had somehow done in error. Since we had paid the 4 days upfront this was a little confusing. There was no drinking water or small towels in the room, when we asked about this were told they were available on request, although the hot water was not available on request. The breakfast was appalling, as was the menu in general considering its supposedly the best International hotel in Zamboanga. On 2 occasions no towels were available by the pool, the excuse was they were all in the dryer ! The restaurant service was also extremely poor.…

Staff were great. The building itself was tired. Air conditioner barely worked. Nice maintenance people tried to fix our A/C unit three times before they agreed to move us to a different room. Stayed for a week with my family, we booked two rooms. They have a newer wing but the current CEO decided to shut it down. Terrible move considering he pushed (scared) a lot of people away by putting them in the older wing. Family and I would always stay here at least for a week every year. Not sure we would be going back with is sad considering this was my hotel of choice back in the day. Again staff were great but management doesn't seem to care about returning guests.

Checked in to escape a whole day of city blackout... have I known that their wifi and cable tv is also blackout, I wouldn’t have checked in! Room is clean and spacious. Coz there’s nothing to do in the room (no wifi no cable tv) we decided to go to the swimming pool... to our dismay, the pool is packed with day entries and nowhere to sit for in-house guests! So we went back to the room instead. Breakfast is nowhere near Jollibee breakfast meal, it’s the worst hotel breakfast I have ever seen! I do not wish to recommend this hotel to my friends and family.. Overpriced with very bad service to top it off!

Our room was located at the 8th floor of the new building of the hotel overlooking the Zamboanga City International Airport. It is quite nice, the room is big and it can accomodate 4 people. All amenities is fresh and new, we have a hot and cold shower with a bathtub. Room is super clean and the buffet breakfast that goes with the room is superb and sumptuous.

This time I stayed in the superior room. The room was clean, bathroom was great and the beds and pillow was a bit on the hard side but ok. Sadly WIFI still doesn't work in the rooms. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They don't have their own booking site, so my mother-in-law (I am married to a Filipina) was told that I should via agent site which I did. I used hotels.com A few days before check-in, I got an e-mail from them saying that they didn't agree on the rate between them and the agent, and they wanted me to pay extra or they would not honor the booking. They claimed that it was an error and suggest that I cancel my booking with hotels.com and then they would give me a "good deal" . I refuse to pay anything extra or cancel my booking + mention to them in my reply, that they was the one that wanted me to use a agent for the booking and that since that I was married to local Filipina, that we would take the case to proper authorities. I never heard anything more from them after that and at check-in nothing more was said. This is EXTREMELY bad behavior and "smells" like trying to scam a tourist....…
