Liked: Staff & service
Staff was courteous, and housekeeping service were courteous. Guests can be very loud at night, but that's not the fault of the hotel. However, I couldn't believe that they wanted 350.00 pesos from me for arriving 3 hours early even though there was a room available. I twas outrageous. I travel a lot to many parts in the world and not a single hotel had charge me extra for checking in early.

Property is quite old and units interior are old school and not so well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing which is of my concern is that my daughter had some bites on her legs and i suspected that its bed bugs. This should be look upon that it might be a cause serious illnesses to their guests.

Average at best.
I arrived at 10:30am. They would not wave the early check in fee. Earliest I could check in was 1:00pm. No manager available to discuss. Air conditioner was dripping on to the corner of one of the beds. Reported it. They put a towel down but did not fix. Breakfast Buffett was terrible. Limited selection. Location is good.

The Hotel Essencia is the best place to stay in downtown Dumaguete which puts you within walking distance of the stores and restaurants. The prices are reasonable for a hotel like this. The restaurant is acceptable.
