The Oriental Bataan

Property was in a state of aging and lack of upkeep. Air conditioner worked but loud. shower stall leaked across floor. Pool closed on first door and then later opened. Area down the hill very busy and crowded at night with confusing one ways and street guards. Basic place for locals (one night) but not much for foreigners. Hotel that is past its prime and used by some locals for work stay.

The chairs by the pool were pretty worn down.

Property not value for money. Poor cleanliness. With mice and cockroaches. Shower are not safe. Buffet food are not good. They should maintain the hotel if they want guests to stay. Not recommended.

The property is up on a hill offering great view of the town/harbor. The hotel is a little older but very clean with spacious rooms that are quiet. Shower is spacious with excellent water pressure. The food selection at breakfast was great and tasty as well as dinner at the Forest Grill was excellent and very delicious. Staff is friendly and excellent customer service.

Staff was excellent. I rated the room fair because there was soap scum in the shower and one of the table lamps plastic switch was broken and could cause a shock hazard. Also the patio was filthy (see photo) and outside second floor looking over the pool, the wood was rotten and nails were export. The breakfast was adequate. The pancit canton at the outside restaurant was excellent.
