After
my quick trip to Boracay, my travel buddy and me decided to have a fast track
to other provinces of Panay Island. As we reached Capiz, we opted to spend the
night somewhere and luckily we bumped into this cozy inn in the heart of
Roxas City. The catchy name of the hotel ‘Roxas President’s Inn' was a little
intriguing and sounds dignified and decent to rest our aching body. Only then we were informed that the hotel was literally named after President Manuel Roxas, born just block away from the location of the hotel.
As
we entered the inn, we were immediately accommodated by their receptionist and
gave us the Ramos’ Suite, the only available room for that day. If I had the choice, I would have chosen either
Magsaysay or Quezon. They are my personal favorites and you can’t do anything
about it (pabebe effect).

The
ground floor interior of Roxas President’s Inn’s reminded me of IMEREX Plaza Hotel in
Angeles City, only the former is quite smaller. The dining set was also right in
front of the reception area, so you won’t have any problem calling the
attention of their hospitality personnel in case you need something.

The
Ramos Suite, a deluxe twin, is an air-conditioned twin-bed room that is just
fitted for two (Php 1800). The lighting effects made the room more warm and comforting for
resting that I immediately fell asleep on my very soft bed.
After
I had my power nap, I got curious on the other suites in the hotel.Indeed, all former Philippine Presidents including the current one has a suite named after them.
I even
discovered that there is already a room reserved for the next Philippine
President for 2016. Of course it is still half-furnished with an on going
construction.
Now the question is, will there be a second Roxas Room in this hotel just like
Macapagal and Aquino? Hahaha sorry guys
but I can’t help wondering. If that happened, this inn would have a triple
redundancy of the name Roxas for keeping.
As I
talked to the manager on duty, Ms. Edna A. Agustin, she told me that they are proud that even
Imee Marcos stayed in their hotel when
she visited Roxas City. And of course, she stayed at Marcos Suite, which I think
only appropriate instead of staying at Aquino’s Suite. It would be an awkward
situation for a Marcos laying her head on an Aquino’s bed. (So much grudge
here).
I
had wished to stay longer in this inn, but we had a time frame for our Panay
Adventure that we left very early the next day. But surely this Inn will be my first choice in my next visit to the
Seafood Capital of the Philippines. |
