Hotel Sogo - Dau, Pampanga

Beautiful hotel really nice people the room was really nice I liked it and it was located in a perfect spot

Sogo Hotel is located very near the huge Dau bus terminal. It is convenient if you're travelling to/from Clark Airport. I was confused about the hotel size because I saw entries on the main road and 400m almost opposite the bus station. I arrived very tired after a long flight and I had to wait 5-10 minutes to check in despite three of the four receptionists not doing much. Sogo hotel is mainly used as a "love" hotel in Philippines but the location of the Dau hotel means other travellers use it too. You may occasionally be smiled at in the lobby. The room was at the end of a long corridor, i received a soft pack of towels/sheet and a small hard pack of toiletries. The room looked utilitarian when I entered but it was clean enough. There was no headboard and the wall behind was not flat. The room had aircon switched on by default and I had to spend 5 minutes looking for the controls. The mattress was on the hard side and seemed to use lots of protection to keep it clean. There was every you needed for a sleep but the room was battered, toilet seat only was attached on one side. The shower said turn left for hot water but after waiting for 5 minutes I tried turning it to right and it worked fine. There is hot food available but I didn't really fancy it. I slept well and it was quiet, check out was easy. All in all it's a hotel that's good for utility. Filipinos should get cheaper rates for walk ins. I will still stay there due to the perfect location.
