Went to Palawan last month to attend an annual convention and chose this hotel for a 3-night stay. Location was really good, just along National Hi-way, very near the Puerto Prinsesa City new airport, souvenir shops and city amenities like restaurants, mall, banks, etc.. I only have to walk for 5 mins or less going to our convention venue, so I saved up a lot on my daily transpo fare. The hotel also offers buffet breakfast and round trip airport transfers inclusive in the room rate and has a nice choices of food to choose from everyday. Employees were very polite and accommodating, they will always greet you when you meet them along hallways or anywhere within the hotel which is a thumbs up for me. Function rooms are also available for business meetings and events.
I was checked-in in a superior room with a queen-sized bed (I think), and it was huge enough for a solo traveler like me at that time..yey! It was one of the rooms on the 3rd floor and has cable-tv, complimentary welcome drinks, and 2 bottles of mineral water for free. I thought I was in for a good stay since I have the room all by myself, or so I thought...
First of all, the room's AC worked well only after several minutes. Second, the wifi connection was under maintenance on the 2nd & 3rd floor during my stay and was only reconnected in the morning of my check out day! :( Wifi speed was great, but sadly I was not able to experience it. Last and probably the worst, the room's toilet was the one I was very disappointed about. Tissue holders were a bit rusty and had some little roaches on the sink and a few on the floor...ewww! I raised this concern to one of the housekeeping personnel and was just as surprised as me but didn't do anything about it. The hot & cold shower was functioning really well though.
The sofa on the receiving area on the 3rd floor looks old and didn't look enticing to sit on anymore. And when I hang out at the lobby for a wifi connection (that was the only area where wifi is available at that time), I was bitten by mosquitoes! Not my best experience in this hotel, after all. :(
Overall, I think this hotel needs serious renovation or upgrade. Hope they will improve for their guests' satisfaction.
