The hotel is ideally located in the center of Davao City, offering clean and friendly accommodations. The service, specifically the front desk staff and city tour arrangements, stood out. Breakfast was a highlight, served with fresh oranges. However, some areas like the surroundings and portion sizes have room for improvement.

The hotel promised a sea view but never delivered, which was a total disappointment. However, the rooms were nice and clean despite being quite crowded. The service was friendly and attentive, although there were some incidents like the quilt being dragged on the floor to change the linen. The location was not good overall, seemingly in a run-down area of town, but there were nearby convenient stores, fruit stalls, banks, and souvenir stores which were helpful for travelers. The dining experience was a letdown, with cold bacon, overcooked eggs, and slow service, not living up to expectations. On the bright side, the facilities were up there with the best hotels in the Philippines.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, while not perfect, were adequately clean with some nice elements like the clean carpet. The service was top-notch, with incredibly professional and friendly staff, although I had a minor issue with the linen change process. The location was excellent, especially for exploring the City of Davao, offering easy access to local food adventures just across the street. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with varied choices and local favorites but some issues with service and organization. The facilities were good, although not without flaws, providing a reasonable stay for the price paid.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a great view of Mt. Apo and the city, which are clean and decent. The service makes you feel like a VIP guest, especially the reception and housekeeping teams. The location is near the lively night market area, and the dining experience at Cafe Marco is nice.

The hotel's location is excellent, just a few steps away from Aldevinco market with a quick visit possible right after breakfast. The rooms didn't include free breakfast but offered a discounted meal which was still a bit expensive. The service was friendly and pleasant, with staff providing great recommendations of places to see. The dining options were varied with enjoyable food choices, though compared to previous visits, it could have been better. Overall, a decent value for money with some room for improvement in certain areas.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were decent overall, equipped with a capsule coffee maker and a Handy mobile device for convenience, but they were a little dirty and dusty. The wet bathroom floor was a hazard, making me slip a few times. However, the hotel staff were accommodating and warm, but slightly outnumbered by guests, which affected the service quality. The location was great, near the lively night market and major shopping complexes, offering a fantastic setting to explore Davao. The dining experience left much to be desired, with cold food and slow service, leading to a disappointing end to my stay.

Staying in the Marco Polo suite room on the 14th floor was a great experience overall. The rooms were well laid out, well-lit, with a nice clean carpet, and the bathroom was also very well laid out with marble floors and walls. The location may take some time to get to, especially if accessing it through a taxi or personal transport, but it's a real winner for business travelers looking for convenience. The dining experience, especially during breakfast, was good with a variety of local, Asian, European, and American food choices, even though it seemed a little expensive. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything from room service to laundry services.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences with a few downsides. The room overlooked the water, the bed and pillows were comfortable, but the bathroom could use a walk-in shower instead of a tub. I loved the afternoon tea time at Marco Lounge.
