I liked that it was across the street from SM Mall. Upon checkout I had a credit. The credit was given in the form of 21 canned drinks. No means to give a cash credit. The shower are was very small. The free breakfasts had lots of great food. The driveway has security.

Quiet place, good service, restaurant delivers to room up to 12:30 am they also have a full service bar. Food is pricey compared to SM mall prices. WiFi is terrible, and greatly reduced our enjoyment of our stay. We will not return to this hotel. But it is a safe option if you need a place to stay and don’t require WiFi.

The location is great, overpass walk and you are right at the mall. Staff is amazing from check in to room service. I stayed at Malarayat for few days for 3x the cost no breakfast, no room service and the restaurant is far and I regret that very much. This is hotel is diamond in the rough, definitely stay at this place again.

The room was very clean, towels smelling very fresh, generous with toiletries. Bed, pillows smelling good, very much like home...comfortable! I like the idea of having a window that i open during the day- i am not used to running an aircon in Baguio where i live. My partner enjoyed the pool table, and the swimming pool which was very clean, i like your garden.

Nice hotel, nice price, nice area, great staff
Nice hotel for nice price In a nice area. Right in front of SM city lipa and along the highway. Quiet room we got but as very common in the Philippines, they need better interior designs. Not the furniture itself But the arrangement. Aside from that, I can’t really fault this hotel. Staff very friendly and Wifi can be better.

Clean & comfy
The room was quite small for the price and there really was nothing special here. But I just came here to have a decent room to stay for two nights. Parking is no problem. The room was cool, the bed nice, water strong with good hot shower. I was expecting a run-down TV, ref and flat iron, but they were all quite new. WiFi is strong. Storage would be a problem if you have lots of stuff. A better chair or two would have been nice. Sound-proofing is not very good but I was too tired to be bothered about it. There's a small pool but it's very open setup didn't look inviting. I wasn't very happy with the food I ordered but it did make up for the buffet breakfast I asked two friends to take advantage of for me. With all the cons I've mentioned, I'm still rating it high because what I needed I got. Overall, it was a good, comfortable stay.

Run Away From This Place - It is Horrible
By far the worst hotel stay ever. I reserved two twin beds and when I checked in they tried to give me one twin bed and a mattress on the floor. The beds are horrible. They are a plastic mattress like in an institution. Very unacceptable. I have stayed in thousands of hotels and have never once had a hotel present me with a plastic mattress. There were a couple of mattresses without the plastic cover on yet sitting in the hall and I know why they put the plastic cover on them. They were dirty, worn and had holes in them. Our room was right across from a meeting room and they had a speaker with a microphone and it sounded like we were sitting in the conference. They certainty don't have the ability to see anything from a guest perspective. The only positive is that it is right across from the SM Mall.

Terrible WIFI. Close to mall. Great staff.
WIFI is non-existent. Was only able to access it for about 5% of the time during my 5-day stay. Very strong signal but can't connect out so it was useless. Very frustrating. Staff was not much help. Their Standard room is substandard. Contrary to what was stated in Expedia, there was no coffee maker in the room. Sink faucet is loose. Side of toilet seat bowl is too close to the wall, big people will have a hard time sitting on that thing. Blinds are not working. Mini bar was missing a can of coke. We had to replace it or be charged twice the amount upon checkout. Not enough AC sockets. Just across the street from the mall and the bus terminal. Polite and friendly staff.

This is a budget hotel. No frills however suits our purpose. Best thing i like about this hotel is its location, just across the SM shopping mall a plus for me as I love shopping and I dont need to take a cab to get to the mall. Breakfast was good; overall was a pleasant stay.

Solid for the price.
The hotel is the best of the 3 star type of basic accommodation in the city as I've previously tried others in the area. The staff is very responsive when needed and are very nice. The location is convenient across the foot bridge to SM Mall. The breakfast buffet is fairly extensive with a lot of choices.

Not what I expected
Not what I expected!!! First showed up they had my reservation down for 2 rooms 2 nights ,when I only booked 1 room 1 night with a queen size bed and since it was late in the evening there where no queen bedrooms left so I had to stay in a 2 twin room,which if you are a lager person like myself ,was very uncomfortable.Second my room was overlooking the extremely busy highway across the street from the shopping mall and convenient bus station which was not mentioned in the add for the hotel,by the way if you stay here don't get the car just take the express bus from manila airport to Lipa the hotel is right across the street save your money .The breakfast in the morning was just OK if you could get the staff to refill the buffet or do some work, a lot of standing around on their cell phones or talking to the local people staying in the hotel. So to recap ,if you don't mind sleeping in a tiny bed , next to the busy highway ,that I swear was used for street racing All Night Long and poor waitstaff (don't order the nachos) this is your place.On the plus side if you get in from the airport late and you cant make the Ferry to Puerto Galera until the morning and need a cheep place to sleep that's right across from the bus station, It will do.

Good value for the price.
Stayed close to a week due to my wife's family being in the area. I like this place because it is centrally located and very short walking distance to restaurants and SM mall. Room was decent size and overall can't complain because the it was good value for the price and it was clean. Breakfast buffet had plenty of choices and had unlimited brewed coffee which was important to me as I'm not fond of the packaged coffee they serve in many places.

Adequate, more of 2 star, not the 3+ was rated
Was overall in a good location, across the street from the SM Mall where you would go to get buses or jeepnee's to other places. Also could get tricycle right outside hotel. Room not as pictured, much smaller, fairly dirty on arrival, and very poor housekeeping! had asked for 2 separate beds, but where given double bed, told would move us later, but in 11 nights there did not ever move us. Food was ok, all the same each morning, not a lot of variation. We did both get sick, was probably from the food as did not eat anywhere else day before. Have to Always use bottled water. Staff was friendly overall. Not a bad place, but for the area was a little overpriced, especially as can get much nicer rooms for same price.

Good value for your money
The room is fairly a good size for the room rate and they even have a garage for your car. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the staff are very friendly. The location is good for shoppers because the SM store is just across the street and you can walk via the sky bridge. My score is based on what you can expect from the hotel room rate. I am willing to come back if I will be in the neighborhood n willing to recommend it to a friend.
