In celebration of my hubby's birthday, we spent 3days and 2 nights in the Queen City of the Philippines, CEBU. We stayed at Gran Prix Econotel. It's not so fancy. It's just a small building but it's really nice with courteous and efficient attendants that provide fast service. Our room is small and simple but really nice and clean with a cute, 14-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall. They have very affordable rates and will still provide you the basics like breakfast, towels, shampoos, soaps, toothpaste and toothbrush branded under their name; hot and cold shower, aircon, cable tv, free Wi-Fi and many more just like in expensive hotels. It's at the perfect location, as well, since it's located right across Robinson's Place. It's also along the hi-way so you can easily ride a taxi or jeepney when you step outside the hotel. Around it are 24hrs branches of McDonald's and Jollibee. There is Mercury Drug right in front, as well as, KFC and other establishments like Spa and Casino since it is located at Fuente Osmena Circle, which is also a tourist spot. You can take a walk or jog early in the morning around the circle/park.
They even have their own Castillo's House Cuisine at the 2nd floor. Really nice ambience with antique items like a really, really old typewriter, electric fan and record player. The food is great just like the crew. Even if you're an early bird, they will cook that early to serve you, just inform them ahead of time, specially if you need to catch a schedule.
