GraceHill EconoSuites Hotel

I expected a cleaner, more pleasant place, but several cockroaches in the room made the stay uncomfortable. There was also a persistent bad smell throughout the hotel that reminded me of the cockroaches. I hope management fixes these problems for future guests.

Getting up the stairs with my luggage was tough, and the Wi-Fi was very slow. The room was clean, though some furniture had cobwebs. There was a water bucket but no dipper, and no water heater despite the price not being cheap. I have no comment on the service. The location is near the market, but away from the bus terminals.

On my North Luzon motorcycle loop, I called the hotel landline listed on Google Maps around 6 PM and was glad they had a room. I got the single room for 1050Ph, with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. It had enough space for me, and the AC worked well, though the Wi-Fi was slow, perhaps because my room, number 31, was far from the router. They provided a free travel kit that was good enough for one night. The staff were courteous, and there were a couple of small carinderya in front for breakfast. Parking my motorcycle out front was okay, though it may be limited to two-wheeled vehicles.

I arrived in Santiago City around 6:30 PM, but the hotel was closed.
