I think this is definitely one of the better hotels in Tarlac - if not the best. I was here for a few nights while visiting family and was genuinely impressed.
The staff were fantastic - friendly, helpful, and thoughtful from the get-go. Even before I arrived, reception helped arrange an airport transfer from Manila and sent over gym recommendations.
The hotel itself is modern, clean, and well run. My room was spacious and the bed was properly comfortable - I slept like a log. There was a rooster outside with a questionable sense of timing, but that’s Tarlac for you, not La Maja Rica.
Breakfast was busy, lively, and just right. I’d read some moaning online, but honestly, the Filipino dishes were tasty, the omelettes were excellent, and yes, you can order decent coffee separately, too.
The location worked perfectly for me - a gym within walking distance, and the SM mall nearby has everything, including a Starbucks if you're that way inclined.
All in all, a great stay. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.
