Benrose Hotel

Cute hotel and near the convention area. Located at the heart of the city, it was convenient to hop off to various points in Cagayan de Oro.

Really good! New, quite and clean but has ants in our room climbing to our bed. They have water dispensers outside hallway, they serve plated breakfast and has parking space.

Another case where i wish TA would allow 1/2 points because this property I would give a 3.5, but definitely not a 4. It’s more like a budget hotel. It does have a lift ( elevator ). The breakfast is one of 4 choices: every option is 2 eggs and rice. The only difference is if you wish the meat to be sausage, bacon, tuna or corned beef. The WiFi worked fine and the shower had very hot water. The bathroom sink does not have hot water. I found the lighting inadequate- the room was a tad gloomy. There’s pure water dispensers at the end of the hall = very nice. The biggest negative was there are no windows. One feels as if he’s in a tiny box, with no idea what the weather’s like - or whether the sky is light or dark. I felt claustrophobic and very uncomfortable in the small room with no view. If this doesn’t bother you, fabulous! For me, it crested stress. The pillows were very soft, which I don’t like - but that’s just personal bias. It’s a solid hour’s drive from/to airport. Within 2 blocks, there are Pizza Hut, Burger King, Jollibee. When you exit to the right, 2 blocks down, same side of street is Angel Touch, where I got a terrific massage. Overall, expectations are critical. If you don’t mind a room with no windows, then this place could be great. For me, it wasn’t pleasant.
