I'm a regular customer at MO2

It was just a 1 night stay, the hotel is ok for shorts stay.. it is situated a walking distance to SM manduriao and esplanade.. the hotel was busy during our weekend stays, we waited longer before we checked in to our room.. the front desk’s staff was so nice and courteous.. our room is facing the mo2 bar so we can hear live musics at night time, the front desk informed us about it and we didn’t bother though but i wont recommend those rooms if you are sensitive to a loud sound.. overall it is a good experience for a short stay.

Staff should have told us our room was next to the generator when they knew that it would be operating at 6am the next morning for a scheduled powere shut down. We only had about 6 hrs sleep the night before and were insistent that we check out on time which left us with six hours of tremendous noise outside of our room. We had even use our own ear plugs!

Stayed here twice, before & after Boracay - mainly to limit our load while traveling to Boracay by bus (to & from) & to store our luggage for the return - wished we hadn't for the return night was horrific with the hotel generator coming on (just outside our room) at 6am (lasting all day). Both stays required a technician to fix the TV. With the power out there was very limited WIFI & that being in the lobby. Spent virtually the whole day in the room with earplugs. Security staff are rude and generally the hotel is within an entertainment (night spot) district - we knew this & reason we requested back of the building (did not know about the generator location). Despite this, no apologies from the hotel about these conditions

Insects and humidity

Lively atmosphere.

a friendly and nice place, for a sort stoppover

This hotel is great if you’re traveling to party and got a lot of time on your hands. The check-in process is slow. There is a restaurant with live band that plays ALL NIGHT LONG, from 6PM to 2 AM, and a nightclub that plays loud party music from midnight to 5AM. That being said…. Initially I had booked 2 rooms to sleep 2 people in one room and 3 in the other. The room I reserved for the 3 people was supposed to be either a queen size bed + twin size bed, as I was traveling with my elderly mother and aunts. Upon checking in, we were offered a room that faces the bar, being warned that the music “gets a little loud sometimes” and declined it. Where does the clerk put us? On the bar side. I think to myself “how bad can it be?” In a nutshell, it’s absolute hell unless you sleep like the dead. The music gets progressively louder from the band and the nightclub causing a cacophony of bad karaoke and ooontz oontz until literally 5am. The first night, we decided to bear it, but we were miserable all night because we couldn’t sleep at all. They were gracious enough to move us at our request the next night, but overall, that experience was terrible.
