I am back from the phill's

[Candyman]

Hi Mrs J Major, Thanks for your kind words, I would like to get married in Cebu or the surrounding area, I was just intrested to know where you might recomend in Cebu

Aromulus ; re Metro Park, The staff were very friendly and helpfull, i have no problem with them, the problems with the management were settled the day I checked out, but they would not deal with my concern at all while i was there, they even hid from me! The problem was lack of comunication, Like for example, when your bill reaches 5.000 peso they want you to pay the debt - ok, thats no problem, BUT, no one tells you about it, they wait for you to come back in the evening and lock you out of your room! then, you have to drag all your bags (and the girlfriend) back downstairs, and pay the bill then go back upstairs. This was very embarrassing, and could be solved by telling me the day before. Also, it was Celine - my girlfriend's birthday while I was there, so i bought a cake for her, took it back to the hotel and stored it in the fridge. they would not let me bring the cake to the restaraunt at meal time, nor would they let me borrow 2 plates so we could eat in the room. But I could have room service, Thants not good service.
Re lbm, I did not tell the hotel about my grudges until well after i suffered from lbm. There is a resident there "Eugene" from the US and he also told me that he never eats there. I orgered a chicken sandwich once, the bread was stale, the fries were wet from a salad (I had no salad) and I did see 1 ant covered in mayo crawling off my plate. my toast (the only thing i did eat) was often stale and not edible.
I don't want an argument about this hotel, I just write what i find, later in the holiday I ate at many traditional Filipino places and had no problem. I would stay there again if I was on a budget again, but I would not eat there.
Also the 23 days was an oversite on my part, not something i tried to get away with!

Thanks guys!

No argument at all, mate, everyone has different experiences.

I was never asked to settle bills until check out day, and I am surprised, but rules can be changed I suppose.
I also remember that I was given a 15% discount last time without asking for it.

On a couple of occasions I did have take out delivery to my room, without any hassle from the management.

Thanks for the head up on this, I know what to expect on my next trip over and will plan accordingly.

Thanks, I was a little worried that I may have offended you. The hotel was cheap, 1100 a night, so I cant complain to much, just those little niggles, They were fine with take out, they just would not lend me plates for her birthday cake! which i thought was a little mean.
Have a good time on your next visit, when are you going? I hope to return in June.
