It's been a while rather some time (hehe) since my last post here. Couldn't think of anything to post when some 'spark' made me think to come back and post interesting stuffs about anything that maybe of help to someone or anybody.

Tonight, am gonna feature a review about this simple yet classy accommodation conveniently situated along Quimpo Boulevard near Ecoland Transport Terminal across the Yellow Fin Restaurant and a jeepney ride to SM City. My husband and I was on a trip in Davao City and few nights before, I was checking online what better place to stay which is, of course, budget friendly. Thanks to information superhighway, we get to browse everything! :)

I have listed a few hotels, inns, etc. When we reached Davao City, this place caught my eyes. "This must be new", told myself. So, off we go and inquired muna. Room rates were affordable for as low as 750, but no inclusion of breakfast. Front desk attendant was fairly friendly though.

We were ushered to our room and it was clean yet quite small but with nice, cool air conditioning, furnished beds, private bath and toilet with hot and cold showers, telephone system and LCD flat screen cable TV. 

One thing I noticed is that the room service was slow. We ordered and it took around 20-25minutes before it was served. The staff who brought our food never mentioned "Room Service" before she knocked the door. Guests will be totally surprised if someone knocks at your door just like that. Anyways, they charged 20php for its service. Serving of water was by request since the water in the rooms is not potable. Just dial the # posted in their laminated menus.  

Its hallway could get noisy at times with people talking and laughing aloud. Yes, noises can be heard from the room. Hmmmm, I wonder if they hear noises from the inside? (chuckles)

Internet connection was poor at first but hubby discovered the hotspot, and wanna know where? Near the door! LOL! So, to make sure of the strong FREE WIFI ACCESS, we had to sat on the floor and start browsing/reading/downloading. Also, their closet has no drawer. Clothes hanger were indeed provided.

The place is good for travellers/backpackers/family/couple & even when you're alone. Security services and provision of a safe environment was well-maintained. I might stay here again soon.

My rate: Fair :)
