now the best part about kingstone lodge is the ENGLISH FOOD and i defy anyone to find that anywhere else as far as the other hotels in cagayan go yes some are ok but you are downtown in the smog and noise

i should know because i am there at the moment and the fecking chickens


also there are plenty of shortime hotels around cagayan for as little as 100php an hour so why would people want to pay kingstone lodge prices
I have to agree with Dave, I've spent quite some time up there with Tony King (one of the owners) and the other ex-pats who tend to hang out there, most of whom own properties nearby and I've never seen anything like that going on. I think it would be slightly impractical as Dave says, it's about 5 miles from the city centre and about a mile from SM. I don't think there is anywhere around there where you could find a prostitute, there's only highway between there and SM and between there and the airport. I think that people are just making the assumption that if ex-pats hang out there then it follows that there must be prostitutes there.
