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.
