hotel elena, davao city

8 october 2010, davao city

wow, first day. after an hour and 45 minutes of air travel, we finally arrived at francisco bangoy international airport. my bestfriend and i had an early flight, while the rest of the gang will be arriving in the afternoon. i was pondering about the map of the philippines by then - davao is really far from manila. and i was happy to think na 'oo, nasa davao na nga ako!'. when we got out of the arrival area, manong driver of hotel elena was already waiting for us. sympre he was holding a signboard that says 'hotel elena'. it was around a 15-minute travel from the airport to the hotel. since it was still early and we were sleepy, tulog mode muna pagdating. 

when you are going to davao, there are lots of hotels (simple to luxury) that you can choose from. since we will be outside naman mostly, we just opt to stay in a simple hotel. tsaka mas swak sa budget. hehe. we chose hotel elena as referred to by a friend. this is where they usually stay during business trips to davao, one network bank, one of the rural banks in davao city is their client.

i have reserved a room before the trip, september pa lang. contact person is catherine tajonera. she promtly replies to my inquiries naman. and by the way, they also have a live chat on their website. airport shuttle service is free, they just need to know your flight details to accommodate you. the room is clean and spacious. they have available drinks (soda and beer) in the ref, but you will need to pay of course upon checkout. for us five people, we got the junior suite and requested for an extra bed.

this hotel is a good place to stay. we just didn't have much interaction with their staff and crew. hindi ganun ka approachable.
