Overall a 2.5 star hotel
Pros - decent breakfast, caring staff with good service, decent WiFi, nice pool and courtyard. Shout out to wait staff Alger and Ellen who provided excellent service

Cons
As we entered our room we could tell something was off as we suffer from allergies. The AC does not have proper drainage and water runs down the wall. We requested to move to another room but it was similar, very stuffy as the AC is not kept running 24/7.
Accessibility- while only 2 floors there is no elevator. There is no washcloth and the towels are in poor condition and dated as well as the bed linen. There is some construction work taking place so it’s a little dusty. Our sinuses were relieved when we left the hotel.

The hotel is fine. My issues with them is the booking system if you add another person aside from paying additional person you have to pay also the foam/ bed. Also the breakfast buffet the refill takes longer to be filled and mostly they will ran out of it and it’s frustrating because it’s still in the middle of the hour of breakfast time. The staff were nice.

I have stayed here 10+ times when I travel to Butuan. It is by far the nicest hotel in the city. The staff are top notch, clean and modern rooms. Great pool, and always excellent breakfast. If you have a vehicle, the parking lot is small and is usually an issue. Also the wifi is sporadic and not the strongest, other than that, I love this place so much.

Great internet, staff, and room. Cleanliness is very important to me. The water wasn't hot enough for my shower, but they sent someone immediately to fix it. The food at the restaurant is amazing. Laundry service is great! I am here for work, and breakfast starts at 6:30 am. When I had to leave, they packed me a breakfast to go!

Service was excellent.Very helpful when asking for amenities. Staff was super helpful and accommodating. The room was kept clean.most important was the water pressure and consistent warm to hot showers. Minor complaint was the need to ask for toilet paper as toilet paper was very thin and didn’t last long. But overall, rating was excellent for Watergate hotel in Butuan

Always not enough seating at breakfast. 1 person sitting at a 6 person joined tables. Inside very cramped, couldn't walk around, people standing in the isles so you couldn't get through to the drinks. Staff did nothing to try to keep the isles clear. Staff not clearing off tables soon enough. Breakfast food trays were always empty or almost empty, not being refilled soon enough. People reserving chairs at table for people who never came - example this morning, 1 couple reserved a 6 person table saying they had friends coming. 1/2 hour later 2 people came in the mean time, there was no place to sit.
Dinner was excellent and dinner service was excellent.

The staff were fantastic, but the noise level was too much. Forget about sleeping in, loud talking everywhere starts at 6 AM. one night I had to call the front desk to complain about loud talking and laughing at 11 PM just outside my bedroom window. I was also charged when I requested an extra sheet, because the comforter was too hot. I've never been charged at other hotels for extra pillows, blankets, sheets, etc.

This place is okay. A bit noisy since our room was around the swimming pool. It needs more boarding the night we were there had a party and they were noisy until I fell asleep. I also requested an additional sheet to use as blankets. But they said it’s an additional charge. We booked 2 rooms. One with 2 twins and the other with Queen bed they called matrimonial. The bed were set with fitted sheet, 2 pillows and a comforter. I ask for a flat sheet since even with AC the temperature inside the room is a humid and a bit warm. Comfort is the main reason I rated this 3 stars.

Nice little hotel. The room was small but nice and clean. The AC dripped a little and the water heater had to be reset. No big deal and the staff responds very fast. We ordered room service and it was very good. Convenient for us and it was easy to park and check-in.

There was a problem with hot water in the shower, it comes and goes or else you have to turn off the shower for a few minutes then on again to have hot water. Soo aggravating!
Noise in the hallway at 1:30 am which I could not sleep, people were talking loudly. Very inconsiderate.
They charged me 150 pesos per handtowel, it did not come with the room rate except the towels. I’m not going to stay in that hotel anymore!

I love the environment is very comfortable and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

What i don't like was the drinking water only limit to 3 bottles per day which is a bit hard for me and my kid because he need to have his milk hot and also making hot his food which require quite amount of water

First of all, the staff, including front desk, housekeeping, and security personnel, were all great. However, the room was small, the bed was not comfortable, and if you’re a smoker, the designated smoking area is literally a 4 minute walk from your room, partially down an outside street; very questionable from the standpoint of both safety and convenience. The restaurant is limited in quality and options. There are better options in town.

Awesome

I had a cozy & comfortable stay at Watergate Hotel, room was very clean & well maintained. Facilities were new, I love the breakfast offered it was generous, everyday the menu is diff. which I liked so much. The crews were so friendly & easy to reach. They communicate well. I would definitely come back here again with my husband. I did not regret I booked this hotel, satisfied customer here from New York keep up the good work. The place is a gem.

The front desk staff needs to improve her customer relations. She is very cold and does not even smile. When I asked for a spare room key since she only gave me one. Her reply was: \"we don't have spare key as of the moment.\" Unbelievable!
