Best Hotels in Aguilar

At the moment i am here at the Monarch Hotel in Calasiao… and so far, we are loving it! My daughter enjoyed the pool, i love the room, it is big enough for 3 guests…i’ll probably try the suite next time 😊 and of course, customer service is superb! I hope it won’t change in the future. When I say future that would be tomorrow hahaha Big thanks to Mel, i think he is a manager because he has the aura of a manager… very welcoming, warmth and empathetic. Thanks to Vhea too (i hope i got her name right) for checking us in with all smiles and kindness. I shall rate their breakfast and check out procedure tomorrow.

Overnight stay, AC, clean, pleasant staff, ok breakfast, near outdoor markets for shopping. Hot water, good WIFI, cable. Good tricycle access to board walk area. 4 -water smells like rust, mattress was firm foam like material, rooms not very sound proof- a lot of moving of furniture above us.

We spent a couple of weeks here during two different stays. We stayed in similar rooms on different floors. The rooms are small, tired and grubby, clearly worn out and way past their refurbishment date. The in room/wall air-con units were 30+ year old units and extremely noisy and not very effective, making a restful sleep very difficult. The bathrooms were dirty, dark and disgusting even for a three star hotel. The lighting was so poor you could not use the mirror for shaving as you could only see one side of your face! Whilst cleaned every day the room/bathroom never felt clean and certainly were not inviting. In house dining options were very limited as was the menu, with the second floor dining room doubling as a bar (with no atmosphere). Staff in general were always helpful. Renovations had commenced during our stay (providing an additional source of noise during the day). I hope the finished product is a significant improvement.
