Meaco Royal Hotel- Lucena

This hotel part of the NOVOTEL chain I believe asI always booked with them any chance When I travel although some hotel location seems not properly maintained, although this location in Lucena is a great deal, they have elevator service, the room is cleaned and wide big bed firm and pillows firm comfortable, had a table lamp ac is split type so it’s quiet and working, enough size bathroom, wide hallway, My only dislike is that they don’t provide water and hot water or kettle for a coffee, they have a water dispenser in the ground floor of which charge 10 pesos per refill and 10 pesos if you ask a hot water to deliver to your room although you can get a free hot water in dispenser had to bring your own mug or cup. The staff are very strick on policy regarding the time check in and check out if you want to ask for a extension 200 pesos per hour. Other than that I cannot complain the comfortable they bring. Very quiete during the night.

While the room was a nice size with AC, it only had a bed and table with one chair. The bathroom shower floor was the same level as the main bathroom floor which resulted in the entire bathroom floor getting wet when taking a shower. There was also a strong sewage smell throughout our stay.

Location is good but the property is barely equipped to accommodate guests. We booked two nights and selected a disappointing presidential suite with just one window. No closet. Room lay-out is just one wide-open room that anyone standing by the door can see everything inside. They provided us with two bath towels ( no wash cloth) and a razor-thin piece of soap. Owners spent some money on out fitting an old hotel but the workmanship is obviously way below standard, not professional at all. They only accept cash, no credit cards. Staff’s courteous attitude is the only positive review that I can give.

Great location, rooms are huge. Some rooms smells bad.

Good location in the central Lucena.

Huge rooms and clean.
