“Great place near in everything and good logistics if you want to explore the city of Dumaguete”
The free breakfast is near the Sans Rival Cafe and near the airport. This is our 2nd time staying in the hotel, but we loved our room before that, which we had during our stay. But it's still nice and comfy

It's little bit creepy as the room style. My mother was in the other room on the 7th floor with her friends however they've heard something awkward like someone's pull a chair back and forth. In the middle of the night.someone using a hammer on the floor. Not only my mother but also her friends heard that creepy thing. Restaurant. Only varieties of choice yet when we arrived no available seats but we sat outside with no Aircon. They need to refill the food on the buffet. Don't wait till it's Finnish as we check all the food are empty.
