Hotel berhampiran Bao Sheng Enterprises, Maramag

So we spent one night on this hotel to enjoy the change of scenery & the pool. The room looks nice but with some cosmetic issues but tolerable. The phone don't work, the staff forgot to send us our toiletries & even the shower rug...but its still tolerable. We had our dinner at the hotel's restaurant & this is where I have some issues. We are on a budget, so I just wanted to make it clear. we asked what is their best seller & the tattoed waiter guy told us its calamaris & lechon kawali..hmmm...that's odd. But I just thought maybe this is the fave hangout for drinkers and they order mostly pulotan. We went for lechon kawali & ramen soup. It took almost 40 minutes for it to be served and when the food was finally served my ”kareness” immediately kicked off. The lechon kawali is a small serving. I mean, thus the server can not analyze that we are a group of 2? he would have informed us ahead. Mind you, this food came so simply without any garnish or some greeneries aside. It is when the ramen soup was served that I shook my head. It taste like Lucky Me instant noodles with egg. And no spice, garnish and any other in it. Yeah I know, its the cheapest in the menu but come on...its not less than 300 php per serving. So if you want to come over to stay in this hotel. Just dont expect much OK? Luckily, the cool weather & the pools are nice.

Average budget hotel. Good aircon, comfy bed (needs more pillows), average TV channels. Main staff are very friendly (but see below). Negatives... Not a convenient location. I thought I was booking a hotel near to the bus terminal, but it was only near to an unmarked bus-stop. (There are better & nicer hotels next to the terminal.) ---That's my bad.--- Busy junction... you can only get tricycle/jeepney around the corner. No elevator. No hot water in shower. Narrow bathroom - hard to use toilet if you have bad knees. (Much better communal bathroom near front desk.) Staff know little about local attractions (eg the caves).

I got married in this Hotel on September. The scenery is just perfect for our intimate wedding. One thing that I have to comment is their Restaurant. Despite the nature loving atmosphere, they have limited choices of Vegeterian Foods (e.g Salads). Prior to my wedding, I approached the Restaurant head requesting for a Salad on my wedding day as my lunch and they agreed. On the day of my wedding, we ordered at 9am and has not received my lunch until 11:30am after consistent follow-ups. I got stressed because of this! The next day when I told them, the staff did not even bother to apologize. He said, that happened because they were busy. Staffs need more training on how to prioritize orders and speak to Customers.
