We choose this hotel as we could not get over to Puerto Galera on the Saturday evening. It was OK for one night, but no more. Room are very dark and in some parts of the room you could not see anything. The hotel has a restaurant, but they had to open it up for us!! We were the only customers there for both Lunch and Breakfast. Food was 'so so'., Something was in common ... prices were too high for what they served! Overall not a very good experience. 'Airco' difficult to adjust and very noisy!

Room tip: Take a room away from the street.

This place offers a fairly decent price if you are just spending the night. The room is clean, but needs a little improvement on the fixtures and furnitures. They also offer good food 24/7, so you won't worry about starving in the middle of the night after that long ride.

Previous reviews of the SM Travelodge Hotel in Batangas, Philippines have reported incorrect information. So, let’s get some things corrected. This hotel, like most all, has strong points and some negatives. First, this hotel is not surrounded by “girly” bars as has been reported. In fact, it is located quite remote and not close to any c-stores, restaurants, bars, etc. While the remote location gives a quiet and restful feeling, no being close essential shopping is a problem. SM Travel Lodge does have a restaurant, but the hours are limited, and having no other restaurants close is limiting. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The exterior grounds are amazing and precisely groomed. The beautiful grounds are good enough to be on a magazine cover. And, the interior is as clean as I have ever seen. The floors are so clean they sparkle and the interior spaces are well appointed. The A/C unit is small but adequate and quiet. The rooms have a spacious feel, and the bathroom has a huge oversized shower with good water pressure though there are no bathroom amenities except two small bars of soap. SM Travelodge advertises double beds, but the bed is more like an oversized twin bed. So, an average size can couple could fit on the bed, but they may not be completely comfortable on the smaller bed. The bed is comfortable and has good pillows. The TV is a 13” tube type, and there is no in-room safe. To my amazement, there are no cups/glasses in the rooms, and you cannot even get a glass at the front desk.
Everything is not perfect at the SM Travelodge. But for a budget hotel, it an extremely clean hotel that offers good value for the money. I would stay at SM Travelodge again if I was in Batangas.

I regret not heeding the negative review in tripadvisor for this hotel.

toilet flush don't work, aircon units are noisy, personnel staff rude, and the extra bed squeaked because it is made only of plywood nailed together and a thin foam. there was this one negative review here that says all they are after is "money, money, money". well, i have to say that is true. this is the only hotel I encountered that treats its guests not as guests but possible fugitives. We spent 3 days here and because their card swiper does not accept atms, I will have to do 2 transfers in 2 days for 10K each (the limit of the bank for the day). day 2 is not even over and they are calling all 11 rooms we booked harassing my companion, calling me in the middle of my conference demanding payment using the foulest language a person in the hotel industry can use on her guest.

I really don't know how to describe this place. I have been to many places and as a group we've been travelling for 3 years now (with me), before me this group has been everywhere. And this is the only place in the Philippines that I experienced the worst customer service there is. Mindanao, Visayas, and Northern Luzon hotels are all courteous and good hosts. This one, they really are not into taking care of guests.

When in batangas, stay away from this hotel. They are sure to ruin your sleep and make you feel unwelcome.

I regret not having heeded the bad reviews. Don't make the same mistake i did.

Room tip: Rooms on the second floor have cabinets, the lower level rooms do not. BUt please do not book this hotel, go somewhere else.

We are extremely sorry this guest was not satisfied with her stay with us. Their reservation came at a very challenging circumstance where all hotels and lodging in the city were fully booked. All group reservations where informed that cash payment should be in order before occupancy due to the volume of guest. Her group was allowed to check in without full settlement, upon promising that she will transfer funds thru electronic transmittance and email her receipt. Our accounting department waited for her till the next morning, but ironically she was the one who felt offended and felt harassed that she was being reminded of the agreement when she left the hotel premises and failed to show or send proof of settlement.

Upon investigation, we learned that she is preparing for her BAR exams. She decided to join her group for spiritual assembly and accepted her assignment to settle payment with us without thorough communication with their group coordinator.


Given her situation, it was not surprising that among the 161 guests she was the only one who reacted so negatively as almost all groups were very grateful that they were provided a decent, clean and affordable accommodation.

Her complain on noisy airconditioner were fully attended and the unit was changed immediately. The bed cushion were bought in as soon as their request was received, even without knowing that they got the bed of the owner as we have run out of extra bed.


We sent her a letter of apology and wish her well in her exams and hopefully hope that she realize too that we are not the kind of establishment she perceived us to be. We value our customer relation and we try to keep our rates reasonable and affordable even during great demands where we could have increased our
tariff.

We are a budget hotel and sad to say some guests demands more than they paid for and run to social media to ruin ones reputation to justify an iniquitous undertaking.

#Advantages:

-Price is good with some good facilities. -Reception were helpful and they tried to help me as much as they can. -Room service are good. -The hotel is not bad, and has some sweet birds.! -i can say it deserves the money that i paid.

#Disadvantages:

-I did n`t like the Toilet, it was not good at all, very very very bad and not clean at all very dirty. -Also they do not provide the facilities that written on the site like the hot tub and other facilities. -Also the bed is quit old and we did not like it, a bit old. And T.v was really small. -Air conditioner old and noisy. -And it`s very far from tourists spots like mabini and beaches but thats why its not expensive. -And it was hard for us to reach the location of the hotel., But the gps saved us and guide us to them, but still. -And their restaurant is expensive. -If you wanna enjoy with batangas and views and tourists spots I do not recommend you this hotel.. But if your a businessman or whatever you do not care about visiting tourists spots and enjoy with this city.. I recommend it to you.
