To be fair, the hotel deserves credit for its amenities, particularly the Onsen area, and the Swimming pool area, but other than that, the entire experience was frustrating. Our stay at the I'm Hotel was nothing but disappointing.
My family is grieving over the recent loss of our mother, and I am a Filipino who has been abroad for more than ten years.
My sisters and I try our best to keep our father amused, and as an OFW, I make the most of long weekends by returning to Manila and taking several staycations in Manila, Tagaytay, and Clark, Batangas.
This time, we planned a "Spa-cation" and a restful stay at a charming yet lively hotel (expectedly). I considered all the finest hotels, including Peninsula, Sofitel, Conrad, etc., and I decided I'm hotel would be the ideal spot to stay.
However, I have a special connection to this hotel because I brought my parents here in 2018. Hence, I considered returning here.
Ok here goes the complains:
They were not at all friendly and had a terrible attitude when they welcomed us at the front desk area. The lady who appeared to be the supervisor avoided making eye contact with me completely. Whole.telling their associates of what they need to do on a certain deadline while dealing with me. WHAT's up with that?
We chose to stay in a Twin Executive Suite room, which can accommodate up to 4 people. We had to pay an additional 4,000 PHP for the two extra people. That's completely OK.
1 Given that there are 6 of us, it took us two hours to get an extra bed, and we had to remind them to bring towels, toiletries, and other extras. If you work in the hotel and service sector, it should come automaimtically.
2 Some of our belongings became wet because the room leaked. The worst was that management did not automatically transfer us to a new room as a gesture of courtesy. While we were in the room (we waited for 1.5 hours), they attempted to solve the AC's issue, but the leakage worsened.
Terrible stay. Unexpected things are understandable but the attitude and attention to details of the management are things that can be improved on.
