And now, another first-hand hotel experience of Teh to share. I tell you, bibilib kayo sa value ng hotel na ito. Pero paano ko nga ba na-discover ito? Well, salamat sa google. :)

| Welcome, welcome! |
Tulad ng nabanggit ko sa unang post ko ngayong July, last minute ang lahat ng bagay bukod sa fare tickets. A night before leaving Pagudpud lang naghanap si Teh ng tutuluyan sa Laoag, which was second of the planned lodging city/town next to Pagudpud. Mega call naman si Teh sa shortlist ng budget hotels na na-research ko. And in search of the cheapest lodging place, as kuripot as I will always be, tah-dah!!! Natagpuan namin ang La Elliana Hotel. Ang kuwento eh, magpapa-reserve na nga lang ng room, humingi pa ako ng discount dahil 7PM ang estimated time of arrival namin sa Laoag during the second day of the Ilocos Norte adventures. At nakaka-shock dahil nabiyayaan kami agad, over the phone, ng 10% discount! So mula Php 800, naging Php 720 per night (room good for 2) ang naging stay namin. Well, fair enough still, dahil hindi namin kumpleto ang 24-hours. :)
Pagpasok ng hotel lobby, sinalubong kami ng mga pampasuwerte ng Chinese, tulad ng isdang Koi na ito (pero Japanese 'to 'di ba?)... *Update: Hindi po pala Koi ang isdang ito, rather it is a Calico Ryukin. Salamat sa mambabasa ni Teh for the correction. (Mahina talaga sa Biology si Teh. -_-) So malamang, Chinese ang may-ari nito. :D

House rules. Please read.
(Asa namang binasa 'to ni Teh...) |
May sariling restaurant ang hotel na ito kung kaya't hindi rin namin napalampas ang kumain dito (abangan sa Food Trip ni Teh). At just like any other hotel or establishment, may house rules silang nakapaskil sa bawat kuwarto ng hotel. Be sure to comply with these rules para maging enjoyable ang inyong stay sa hotel na ito... :)
Dahil mura ang lodging, hindi talaga ako nag-e-expect ng sobrang gandang kuwarto. Pero napanganga kami ni nanay nang makita namin ang loob. Very spacious, clean-looking and comfortable for its rate! ^_^

Not only that, spacious din ang private bathroom! With tabo and balde pa! The true joy of a bathing Filipino. Hehehe... XD
Can't get enough of Ilocos Norte? Let's explore the remaining attractions past Laoag City! The last Norte gala of Teh, susunod na! ^_^

If I may be allowed to correct you, it's not a koi in the aquarium. It's a variety of goldfish known as calico ryukin.
ReplyDeleteFinally, a review on La Elliana! Thanks! Btw, your food post (later) look exciting!! Going to Laoag next week and they said La Elliana is a haunted hotel! :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, @lazyblackcat! Well, we felt comfortable during our stay, and most of the places in province are haunted so maybe I got used to it. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Ilocandia! :)
