Watergate Boutique Hotel

The swimming pool and function room are so happening. Music nonstop until 10pm. Luckily all noise stops around 10pm to have peaceful sleep. Breakfast was tasty but full of black particle inside the food. The car entrance to the hotel was not user friendly, need to came out of the car to request PIC to lift the gate. Have to pay deposit in cash - not accept credit card. The air cond water dripped on the bed! No lift, need to walk upstairs with your heavy luggage.

The boutique hotel provides decent accommodation in Butuan. However, the indoor air quality was a major concern for us. The windows on the second floor are locked, and there is no possibility of proper room ventilation. When we arrived, the room smelled strongly of scented cleaning products, and one could feel the VOCs irritating the nose and airways. The room does not provide face towels, and if you ask for one, you can rent it for 70 pesos per day. Toiletries were provided upon arrival, but we did not receive more toothpaste when the small initial one ran out, nor additional soap. Several times a day, there are power blackouts, usually lasting only a few minutes. Overall, the place falls short in terms of hospitality and indoor air quality. On the positive side, it is clean, the room is spacious, and the air conditioning works well.

Room was fine and amenities were okay, buffet is not promising tho
