1. Check in: Very prompt. It was confirmed immediately as reserved/paid through Expedia. Quite the same as with other branches.
2. Elevator to the room. None. The room was on the fourth floor and at the corner through a labyrinth of passageways. Finding the room was a challenge in itself. Nothing similar with other GV hotels.
3. WiFi. Good. This, I guess is the best feature, if not, the only. Any GV never fails with this, by far.
4. Hot shower for the early morning trips. Only in "Deluxe" rooms! I thought, the same standard applied to all standard rooms in all branches! Que horor! So I tried upgrading to suites...oops! the only one has been taken. I finally got a Deluxe Twin... with no Towels this time! Thus, without an elevator, nor a phone, I had to run downstairs to inform the front desk, who did his best nevertheless to deliver. No soap, though. Good thing I brought my own.
5. Old CRT TV is no problem. Poor reception is! Thus disconnected the one and only, SOLITARY power outlet to plug in my laptop's charger for snoozy music that eases the place's creepiness from the high ceilings with cobwebs at the corners, the drainage/sewage pipe hidden behind a "box" wall that makes a sound everytime someone from a higher floor flushes the toilet and the eerie moist moldy smell of the AC.
In a nutshell - the Lapulapu branch might discourage customers from trying other GV branches, and the management needs skilled/professional services in improving the place.
