Transportation, therefore, is not an issue. Taxis are abundant even at night because of the nearby cafes and bars. There are also public transportations like Jeepneys and motorcabs. It is also walking distance to several banks (BDO and BPI). Few blocks away, is the Divisoria area where night cafe takes place during Fridays and Saturdays. Some drugstores, convenience stores, Jollibee stores, and Mcdonalds are open for 24 hours a day. All of them are just walking distance from the hotel.
Rooms are great, nice and neat with very reasonable room rates. The restaurant at the main lobby is very spacious, serving sumptuous dishes at affordable prices. There are also small function rooms at the Mezzanine if you want dining privacy with group of friends or business associates. At the top of the hotel is a bar with nice views of Cagayan de Oro central area.
The only problem with this hotel is if you have a car since parking space is very limited. But this is not a problem for tourists visiting the city of Cagayan de Oro via plane. There is also no swimming pool in case you want to have a swim.
