Summit Circle Cebu: Simply Satisfying

Blogger Guia Trinidad at Summit Circle Cebu
It was my first overnight business trip in Cebu and I was too worried about being in a horrible hotel that will ruin the whole experience. My main points of concern? Comfort, convenience, cost, and ghosts!

Luckily, among all the accredited hotels of the company I work for, I ended up in one which I can describe as simply satisfying.

Summit Circle Cebu, or formerly known as Midtown Cebu Hotel, is located at the Fuente Osmena Center. And as described in their official website, this structure is at the heart of everything that is bright and delightful. Though I must admit that it is not the most attractive building I have seen from afar. To my surprise, inside is a decent hotel with services and facilities that are comparable—if not even better—than other business hotels I have been into.

The rooms are clean and spacious with good enough air conditioning units. Plus, there are hot and cold showers with temperature that I easily managed for the first time! Although the comfort room, in general, can and should still be improved, I think. Major boo-boos are the toiletries provided! Nonetheless, there is a convenience store located at the hotel lobby which can always save the guests for their basic needs.

Another winning factor of Summit Circle Cebu is their buffet breakfast menu. But don’t get me wrong as their dishes are not the most exquisite in the city, but they provide a lot of choices from appetizers down to breads and cereals. Above all that, their meals give a sense of warmth that I believe makes their guests feel comfortable—as if they are just at home.
That warm and welcoming ambience is present in every corner of the hotel and in every smile of the attendants. That is truly Cebu quality, real Filipino hospitality.
