Cordon hotel rooms a the Independent

"The hotel is part of a shopping mall and grocery store. Public transport is very cheap and easy!"

"Very nice staff, room is comfortable, clean bathroom, the best place in the area so far. "

"previous guests complained about mold smell. My room was fine. wifi is decent. very good middle eastern food right around the corner. elevator takes you to your floor. easy to find, right on the main drag."

"Staff was awesome! Room was nice. Breakfast was delicious. All was good other than the construction going on all around us. Really noisy with the traffic and early morning construction right next to our room outside. "

"Very much a budget hotel. The only one in Bagabag so I wasn't expecting much, and I got it. Their main business comes from locals, not tourists, even though it's a great location to jump off from, for highway 109 and 110 (south & west respectively. The mountain drives are awesome. So weddings are a mainstay for the hotel, but the wedding began at 3am!!!! All the wedding party and photographers, set construction etc, up making noise from 3am! I think the hotel are happier to ask forgiveness rather than permission. Then there was: no sheets on the beds, just throw rugs - small - normal for the location, but not for a westerner who's used to sheets at least; cockroaches, but not every night, VERY noisy a/c; beds and fixtures in disrepair; nowhere to hang towels in the bathroom; no shelf for toiletries; not all the electric switches work; TV worked but it was highly damaged such that you couldn't watch it. The staff are good though, and the water lilies magnificent. Easy to catch a tricycle out front, but don't pay too much: 50 pesos into Bagabag as at March 2025, and 200 pesos into Solano. Bagabag is a great place to soak up the genuine Filipino culture though. Expect friendly people."
