The hotel rooms looked dull and definitely needed renovations, with a strong, unpleasant smell that made it difficult to stay in. The service was friendly but lacked proper organization at times. The location was convenient to other facilities but could benefit from some improvements to cater to diverse guests. The dining experience had some delays and issues with added charges for children. The facilities need some attention for an enhanced guest experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is great for those who want convenience and accessibility to IT Park in Cebu with plenty of amenities nearby. The rooms were lovely, though the breakfast selection at the Ambassador's Lounge could have had more variety. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to accommodate our early check-in request.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite a horrible dumpy smell and being dated as expected, offered a very comfortable king bed and all the necessary amenities. However, the toilet smell was off-putting. The service was a bit of a hit-or-miss scenario with some staff being accommodating while others seemed unhappy with their job. The location, although superb for city tours, had issues with congested roads and unwanted elements nearby. Dining options were decent, keeping the hotel afloat, while the facilities were adequate.

The hotel offers views over Cebu City or the tranquil mountain range, but the rooms are in need of modernizing. The casino provides a wide variety of games for gambling enthusiasts.
