Yet beware--the pleasant experience ends there!
Their breakfast buffet? One fried viand, rice, one kind of cereal, 2 kinds of bread, and a SINGLE serving of juice/coffee tea. That's it! Not the kind of food you expect while on vacation--most of us do get a wider variety at home.
And the room walls are way too thin---I can here the guy speaking on the phone inside the room to our left---and I can understand the TV dialog on the room to our right. Forget snoozing away---there is NO airconditioning for P3100/night (yes, this is baguio, but other hotels DO offer airconditioned rooms at prices that are CHEAPER than their P3100/night).
To top it all off---there is NO room service. And their restaurant closes at 9PM--and with their off-downtown location, the nearest restaurant is a 10-minute drive.
If you make the mistake of having food delivered, the HITLERESQUE security *lady* guard will POUND (not knock) at your door 3 times...and will do it again and again for good measure if you don't open in 5 seconds.
The TV Remote control didn't work and even the KeyCARDS went kaput in the afternoon.
For guests, they have nine (9) parking slots at the front and that's it. The underground parking is for the owner and some longstayers. Arrive on a full lot and you'll have to park on the steep uphill road in front.
The hotel is so stingy and cheap they even turn off their waterfalls in the landscaped garden early in the morning. I've heard that Ilokanos can be stingy but this takes the cake.
Their biggest beds actually measure 48x60 so if you a companion both of will have to master the art of synchronized turning while asleep. The headrests aren't even attached to the darn beds--they are just sort of sandwiched between the mattress and the wall.
Ahhhh, the view---if you're not lucky to get the side where the landscaped garden is (left side of the building), you choose the parking lot (front side) or the galvanized aluminum roofs of the adjoining shanties (right side and back side). Remember, this building is located in an old residential village.
The Staff are really friendly and they try their best--they DO deserve a better hotel and owner/s to work for.
If you want to savor the Ilokano brand of "budget pampering" firsthand--by all means stay at Ridgewood Residences.
