The Staff was always friendly and ready to assist with whatever the request was. Housekeeping did a great job of keeping the room clean, and meal options at breakfast were always satisfying. Transportation options, including parking, were great as well. There were also plenty of walking locations nearby making it a convenient location to stay while in Dumaguete
