Northview Hotel

Hotel management should seriously put DOUBLE LOCKS in all rooms. We stayed at the ground floor rooms near the pool (I guess these are the older rooms and the ones in the main building are way better). Doors open outward and have no supplemental locks inside. On the 4th night of my stay, a man and a woman (probably employees) opened my room a few minutes past midnight! Who does room check at 12 md!! Good thing I woke up as I heard them fumbling with the knob. Told me they "thought the room was already vacated." Whut? Whatever purpose they wanted to use the room for, that should have been avoided if there were locks inside the room. I don't mind the very basic room, a no-remote TV, a slimy pail in the room, and a stagnant pool (which was probably where all the mosquitoes came from). What didn't allow me to sleep well at night was the possibility of someone barging into the room during the night, and I can't believe it really happened. :( Guests who stayed in the main building said their rooms were nice! Buffet for functions were managed, and if you're late for a few minutes the buffet would have been collected by then, but they will gladly prepare a plated meal for you. Ilocano dishes are yummy! The owner and the staff are accommodating and pleasant. Made up for the lapses I mentioned above. Thank you, North View!

This hotel has recently undergone a facelift improving on the old-look yers ago. Rooms are clean and equipped with basic amenities such as aircon, hot and cold shower, tv. There is also a restaurant and a swimming pool. Parking may be a bit cramped at the front but i think they have another parking area in another part of the hotel.

Stayed for 2 nights in this hotel. Exteriors has improved a lot since the last time I stayed here. We were given room number 1. Room has been renovated to have a modern feel. Several maintenance concerns such as weak water heater, broken bathroom doors, dirty groutings. No remote in the room and electrical sockets are hard to find. Breakfast is included in the room. Set meal composed of rice, sunny side up egg and processed meat ( vienna suasage, luncheon meat). Hotel had a swimming pool and basketball court although you have to give a deposit of 500-1000 for ball rental?! Had very minimal contact with their staff but based on my observation, they can still professionalize their demeanor. Would I stay here again?probably yes because there are very limited hotels in Laoag but if I had a choice, I would definitely try a more upscale hotel around the area.
