Cassandra Hotel

as basic as it get- lots of broken items, expensive, staff working with broken items

BE ADVISED DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. They are scammers I booked & paid for a room through Expedia & when i got there to check in they said my visa card wouldn't work for their refundable damage deposit. They refused to even run my card & kept insisting i give them a different credit card. They told me that even though I paid for the room they wouldn't give it to me until I gave them a different credit card. So I left & wasn't able to get refunded for my room that I didn't even step foot in. The place looked pretty rundown anyways & I was only going to stay there because of the cheap price, lesson learned.

Bad bed old bathroom

Great stay! Very convenient using the codes instead of keycards. Bed could have been a little softer, but was still able to sleep.

It’s good

Staff helpful when we had issues. They appear to be in process of renovations and anticipate an improved property when completed.

The room was big enough to accommodate our luggage.

We are grateful to Anu for checking us in early, a service we were happy to pay for. In her efforts to complete the process, Anu inadvertently omitted a tax charge of approximately $8. Later, my wife received a call from a discourteous Filipino woman named Handra, who rudely demanded that I present myself at reception to settle the outstanding amount. I was in a deep sleep at the time, and my wife could not understand the urgency, particularly as the hotel was already holding a $250 deposit for incidental charges. Shockingly, this vile Handra had the audacity to slam the phone down on my wife mid-conversation. When I awoke, I went down to reception. Although immensely irritated, I chose not to make a scene. I listened as this dim-witted individual attempted to justify her unjustified behaviour towards my wife. I could see Anu also struggling to follow Handra’s feeble explanation. I remained composed, deciding not to lower myself to Handra’s level. Handra continued to belittle Anu, claiming she was being trained and had made an error. It was pretty obvious she was trying to deflect blame. Individuals with such unbecoming ethics should not be entrusted with front-desk responsibilities. She is a disgrace to the many hardworking, respectful Filipinos I have had the privilege to work and engage with over the past 25 years. Behaviour like hers tarnishes the hotel’s reputation.

large clean rooms

the exterior is quite run down. But rooms clean and friendly staff

Front desk, Handra was very helpful.
