Located close to Delgado St., downtown Iloilo, this hotel from this writer's perspective is a good place to stay for Dinagyang. It's just a few minutes walk to the food festival area as well as one of the judging areas and street dance areas. Furthermore, it's located right behind SM Delgado and close to the port if you opt to visit Guimaras.
The hotel was close to the event, but not too close so you couldn't hear the loud music from the street events -- guaranteeing a good night's sleep.
Service was wonderful. The crew was pleasant and accommodating to our needs. There were incidences of language barriers, but overall it is evident that they try their best to give good service.
The room and bathroom were clean and with all the basic necessities required. The airconditioner was cool for the duration of our stay. Some blankets had cigarette burns on them, but were basically clean. They could have better towels.
During Dinagyang, hotel prices go up. For the case of this hotel, they had included complimentary buffet breakfast for the duration of Dinagyang weekend. Food was good but not great (with a choice of two viands, egg, rice or bread, fruits, and kakanin at the buffet table).
Overall, we were pleased with the hotel for the duration of our stay and would recommend it to anyone on budget as price is much lower than other hotels in Iloilo. Taking into account the service and amenities, it's a pretty good deal.
