Dreamwave Hotel Lemery

“Great Staycation!!”

Friendly staff and the hotel is clean and well manage. It's near the mall so you can easily go and buy the things that you need and you can eat near fast food chain. Also its also near the bus terminal going back to Manila.

“Roomy Superior”

Been here twice already. It's my budget hotel of choice when in Lemery and staying to visit relatives. Always opted for the superior room because they are spacious, well-lit, and has a relatively cleaner feel. I'd agree with the distinct smell from the drains, however.

Been here twice already. It's my budget hotel of choice when in Lemery and staying to visit relatives. Always opted for the superior room because they are spacious, well-lit, and has a relatively cleaner feel. I'd agree with the distinct smell from the drains, however. When the tap is opened, whether from the sink or the shower area, the smell comes on and lingers a while. The bidet is fine albeit the pull when in use is kind of uncomfortable. These checkpoints may seem minor, but if addressed, the benefits to reap are worth it. Other nifties for me: strong wifi, toiletries, towels, clothes hooks, complimentary bottled water, coffee packets, cable TV, heater, phone Overall, cost/performance ratio is proportional. Staff service is commendable too. Warm and friendly receptionists; proactive bell boys and cleaning crew -- always ready to help when asked.

“I thought it would be a DREAM but...”

First off, the location of the hotel is right beside a mall. There were no indicators that the hotel is inside the compound. I had to go around twice before I finally saw the hotel's name on its front door. They should put up a sign on the road to make it easier to locate them. Next is that s… more

First off, the location of the hotel is right beside a mall. There were no indicators that the hotel is inside the compound. I had to go around twice before I finally saw the hotel's name on its front door. They should put up a sign on the road to make it easier to locate them. Next is that since it's inside the mall compound, parking was a challenge. I arrived at around 7:30 PM and the parking area was packed with mall goers so I had to wait for a while to find a spot. Good thing the bank closed and they removed their barrier. They don't have an elevator although the hotel rooms are just on the second floor. It's going to be a long hallway before you get to your room. I was assigned to a room near the entrance of the hallway but their hot shower was broken. I know it's not too much to complain but for a weary business traveler like myself it's a luxury to be able to shower and bask in it to cap off a very long day. So they moved me to another room which is now at almost at the end of their very long hallway, but I'm okay with it. They don't serve breakfast but since it's inside the mall compound, there are 2 fast food joints that probably opens at 6:00 AM and a 24 hour convenience store beside it. On the plus side, the room is spacious, it was a tv with cable and 2 complimentary water bottles which is really a plus for me.

“On This Side of Batangas, This Will Do”

So if you ever need a stop this side of Batangas, this will do. Its clean, its fairly new, and very fairly priced. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Check in is quick, but you’ll need to pay up and give a refundable deposit for the key card right away. The hotel is on one end of a small ma… more

So if you ever need a stop this side of Batangas, this will do. Its clean, its fairly new, and very fairly priced. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Check in is quick, but you’ll need to pay up and give a refundable deposit for the key card right away. The hotel is on one end of a small mall in the town, with direct access to the mall. So this is a big plus, especially if you need supplies or want a fairly good dining selection. There is reserved parking in front of the mall, but there are only 3 slots so first come, first served. The rooms are very spacious, and there is in-room wifi. The signal can get spotty at times, though. The bed provides a relatively good sleep. Now the downside: The lobby was quite warm. There is a big fan but at midday this wont be enough. There is an airconditioning unit but they never turned it on. The hotel has no restaurants, so cross out plans for a breakfast buffet. The mall fastfood outlets open early, though, so that provides an alternative. For really quick meals there is also a convenience store just adjacent to the lobby. While the rooms are spacious there are no windows. This could get those claustrophobic nerves going. The television unit in the room is to the left of the bed. If youre like me and you like watching TV lying down, you may end up with a stiff neck. There is a refrigerator in the room but the one in my room wasn’t working. There is no elevator in this hotel. While the rooms are numbered beginning with “3” the hotel staff tells me there are only 2 floors. The stairs tell me its between 2 and 3. So if youre lugging around big bags, get a room near the stairway; the corridor can be a long walk. All in all, this will do.
