Gran Prix Econotel Cebu: Convenience meets Budget

Last week was pretty stressful for me. Aside from work, everything at home just felt so wrong. I couldn't sleep well and always felt restless. I honestly didn't know why, but I knew for sure that I needed a get away and leave (or it could just probably be the weather. lol!).

Gran Prix Econotel Cebu

I stayed at Gran Prix Econotel Cebu since they have good WIFI connection in all their rooms. (Trust me, it's awkward staying at the lobby area for hours with your boxers just to surf the net). Most people, like me, put this at the top of their checklist whenever they look for a place to stay. Money was never a question since Gran Prix has very affordable rates.

The front desk lady was very kind and accompanied me to my room while orienting me of their amenities:

Gran Prix Econotel Cebu has 39 rooms and recently upgraded their air-conditioning system as an action to their customers' comments and reviews. They are using a Smart-card door lock system to ensure customer security. They also highlight the importance of CCTV and placed cameras on every hallway. What I certainly adore most about Gran Prix is their value for time. Their staff is very responsive and do not show leniency (even their elevator shows value for time. Unlike elevators at the mall, it only takes 5-6 seconds to reach the the 4th floor from the ground. Most people probably didn't notice that. Hahaha!) 

By the time I saw my deem lighted, well air-conditioned room, a huge smile came into my face! Finally, a well-deserved deep long sleep!

The management's willingness to listen to their customers made a big impact not just to them,but to their customers. This is indeed something worth commending. It simply shows that the management listens and take action to improve their service. I've also heard that the management is planning to carpet the floor; this is to minimize the noise produced when walking and I am even more excited to visit them soon and see what changes they did to improve customer satisfaction.

One of the most "talked-about" room in Gran Prix Cebu is their Family Loft at Room 417 and 418. A 2 story room with great architectural design. It is very spacious and really well-thought of. For only Php 2,299.00 per night, this is definitely a good catch!
