Accessibility should not be expensive!

Review of Pontefino Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 26, 2018
The place is great! The people are nice! Only 1 room has wheelchair accessible bathroom. Food is ok. Good thing my stay there was paid by the organizer because the place is expensive! 24/7 stores are near. Smoking is allowed near the entrance.
If only they would be open-minded that making the shower room accessible is simply by removing one glass panel and put a shower curtain.
Date of stay: November 2018
Room Tip: Room for wheelchair users only on the ground floor.
Trip type: Traveled on business

    Stayed here for a work event. The food was okay - the meats served during lunch is tough to slice; dinner was salty. The rooms look and feel old and not thoroughly cleaned. Responsive hotel staff though. At least that's a plus.

    We stayed overnight and the room was comfortable. Parking is limited even with their overflow parking area across the road. In room amenities like the toiletries was limited to soap and shampoo. The mini bar only had a sachet of coffee mix. Breakfast buffet was also limited to a few dishes.

    This is a relieving experience that there is actually a nice place to stay in Batangas City. You can stay here if you plan to explore the attractions in the place coz everything is near (everything is within at least 20 minutes) or just stay there for a relaxing treat. The hotel is more of a resort type/condotel, we stayed at their executive suite near the pool (there are 2 pool areas) - and everything was great except for the smelly toilet/bathroom (which I believe they can fix). There's an oven and microwave, a small table for four (which is actually good enough and there's still space), a spacious living room, and big verandas where you can enjoy the view of the pool. My daughter enjoyed the pool (maybe because she can swim :-)), and the staffs were great they even played with her for acting like she's also a waitress and took our orders and hand to us our bills. Downside is the smelly toilet/bathroom (we stayed at 2215) and it wont go away, another is the parking area wherein you have to cross the street to get there and if you forgot something in your car well you'll have to walk very far. I guess it's because there was a "wedding" during our stay there and the parking space near the lobby was full (should they prioritize their hotel guests?, i'm not sure), and the third is - you can hear the people talking in the other room (particularly at the bathroom) perhaps there was no insulation between walls / or the rooms are not sound proofed at all. But aside from those 3 we had a great time and we'll definitely come back.

    Room tip: there are no elevators so ground floor and 1st floor are great

    The security guards are friendly in showing alternate place to park if the main parking lots are occupied or short due to expansion project of the hotel. Receptionist Megann was very accommodating as well. We were given a new room from newly constructed buildings at the back of the main hotel. They were superb in size and very clean. Swimming pool were everywhere and clear.

    Room tip: choose the ones at the newly constructed building, but if you are nostalgic circa 2004, then reserved a room at the main building

    We booked a room right after our wedding day and we were surprised that we had an upgrade for free. That is super awesome and we spend an awesome weekend there. Though we just slept in the hotel, it is nice and cozy.

    Room tip: New hotel rooms are the best!
