I had an enjoyable stay at Hotel Essentia. The staff and security guards were always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day, making sure our room was clean and that we always had fresh sheets and towels. The breakfast on our first morning was excellent, but on the following days some of the dishes were a bit too salty for our taste. Aside from that, the overall experience was very good. I would definitely consider staying here again and appreciate the excellent service provided by the staff.

This would be a 3.5 star hotel in North America (just for some context). Decent location. I dont think any hotel in Dumaguete is quiet. Good restaurant and friendly staff.
