I would say that it's a struggle to go out and visit places when you consider your dog as a family member. Having a pet (baby dog or cat) would mean you can only visit pet friendly places. So for today's post, I will be sharing to you a pet friendly Inn/Hotel in Cebu- Allson's Inn. QUICK STORY ON HOW I KNEW ABOUT THIS INN I first knew about Allson's Inn last 2014 when we had to evacuate from our place due to a strong typhoon. We live near the sea and it was quite dangerous so a force evacuation was mandated by the local officials. It's not possible for us to stay in an evacuation site because of my fathers health so we needed to find a hotel- a pet friendly hotel, of course we can't just leave Hachi behind. Thanks to our VP for sending me names of hotels which are pet friendly. And after calling each hotels recommended, only ALLson's confirmed that their establishment is indeed pet friendly. ALLSON'S INN is located at 129 General Echavez Street Cebu City. They're quite near DOLE VII. OUR RECENT STAY Last Christmas and New Year, our family decided to stay in ALLson's Inn for comfort. We live in a place where people don't miss to celebrate New Year with different kinds of firecrackers. Not to mention the 24 hr karaoke and disco sounds. I am asthmatic so as my brother. The smoke and the noise will also do no good for my Papa, Mama, and of course Hachiko. We stayed in a family Room Good for 3 and sine we are a family of 4, we requested for an extra mattress (Php 400/day) for Kuya. We also requested to have a mini fridge (Php 50/day) for our cold drinks and salad (Yes, we brought baon) :) ROOM RATES Details below are extracted from their website. Standard Room (Good for 2)- Php 1,250 Family Room (Good for 3/maximum of 4)- Php 1,550 Barkada Room
Our Room (Family Room) For both Christmas and New Year, we stayed in the same room. It was spacious and clean and the AC worked pretty well. Upon check-in, basic toiletries are provided i.e. toothpaste, soap, and shampoo. 3 beds + 1 extra mattress= Wonderful sleep for my family :) A dining table is also present in the room making it easy for us to eat our meals. We did not have a dining table when we checked-in last 2014 so I guess it depends on the room? Here's this huge closet where we kept our stuff. Washroom is also clean :) CHECK IN INCLUSIVE When you check in, you get to have a FREE breakfast which they normally serve in their "rooftop". You may also opt to have your meal/s delivered in your room but it will cost you Php 20 per person. Food Menu (Front Part) Apologies for the pictures. I really am unsure why it turned out blue. Food Menu (Back Part) Food!! :)- Their food tastes great, by the way. Rooftop View from the rooftop Still in the rooftop- waiting for our brekky :) ALLSON'S INN PHOTOS Entrance Reception Area- They were currently renovating this area during our stay that's why it looked messy. Hallway HACHIKO!! So that's Hachiko enjoying "his bed". He was very uneasy at first but eventually relaxed as he realized "Oh it's cold here!" :) Now he's about to close his eyes and sleep on Mama's arm :) FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall, I do recommend ALLson's Inn not just for those who have dogs/cats to check in with them, but for regular travelers as well. On the other hand, I have observed a few things to be improved. Let me share to you the PROS and CONS of this Inn. PROS 1. Located in downtown Cebu 2. Value for money is a thumbs up 3. Staff are friendly and they greet their guests everytime they meet them in the hallway. 4. The Inn and the rooms are clean 6. Early check-in is hassle free and with NO EXTRA FEE so long as there are available rooms. 7. Food tastes good 8. Oh well, it's PET FRIENDLY haha CONS 1. Communication lapses * They failed to inform us that their phone line has issues upon check-in (sometimes it works sometimes not). So I had to go down the reception area to inquire and there I was informed they have issues with their phone lines- Happened twice (both Christmas and New Year) * Every time I call the reception hotline, it takes time before they pick up. It even happened that I had to dial 3x before they were able to pick up. * In one event, we ordered garlic rice for our breakfast but they served plain rice. No explanation why. 2. Extra Mattress is not stable. It moves a lot even when its wheels are already locked. 3. This should not be taken against ALLson's but there are no convenient stores nearby.
