Not a good hotel
This kind of hotel is horrible . Even though you are so tired and exhausted already .They will really wait for 2pm to check in(I arrived at 12noon),and to think there is alot of vacant room. And they will not helped if you carry heavy things upon check out. The bedding and pillow case are dirty. And the towels smell stinks. I will not recommend this hotel.

Aggregating stay
Pro- good Location, friendly staff, rooftop bar and restaurant, nice clean pool. Con- no room refrigerator or safe, older hotel, poor and sorry internet, door locks sticky and difficult to use. Had to have maintenance open the door 3 times. Aircon had no adjustments so had to plug it in or unplug it throughout the stay. Okay hotel with nice staff but for the money there are better in the area

This Hotel for this are is possible the best because it is located across from the Mall and walking distance from The Boulevard (The Beach). Its clean, staff is nice ,security nice. The only bad thing (the most important), is THE WIFI SUCKS!! Its &Horrible. And for some reasin the workers that are located on the floors, talk so much at night and very loud, you hear eveeything in thr rooms, it echos.

It was kind of frustrating, because we were inky allowed to receive guests in the lobby. They were not allowed to come to our rooms. Then it seems that most of the staff prioritize only foreign guests, because there were several instances wherein we were asking fir assistance. But whenever a foreigner comes, they cater their needs first before ours. We paid for the hotel’s services. Meaning we also have means to pay for whatever dues as long as we get the best quality of service.

Needs a lot of improvement
Overall this hotel is quite disappointing. We stayed at this hotel mostly because of the pool, the wifi and the breakfast. However the wifi is incredibly slow the pool is not suitable for children and the food has generally been poor. The rice resembled congee and the food was generally cold and really short on choice. When ordering room service on one occasion we had to wait an hour and it was cold and burnt. The room itself was a let down. It was a lot smaller than we were expecting with no fridge or cooking facilities we couldn't even have a cold drink. There is no child proof lock on the door leading to the balcony and there is a build up of dirt and grime in corners. The staff while polite are not friendly and not particularly helpful. Cleaning of the room had to be requested rather than most hotels where you hang a sign from the door to say cleaning is needed. Overall I feel the bare minimum is done it certainly would be unacceptable in most hotels.

Sad Excuse for a Modern Hotel
We spent 3 summer nights in 2018 at the C&L Sea View Hotel. Unfortunately, the new hotel had so many unusual problems that we cannot recommend this hotel to anyone, even those traveling on a budget. This was one of the most difficult stays we have experienced in over 30 years of traveling, expectations not met. It appears C&L built this hotel but clearly cut corners on construction costs and forgot to budget for amenities. The worst was all the room's plumbing backed up every day: sink, toilet, and bath. So bad was the room's plumbing that we and our guests had to use the lobby bathroom for most things. Cleared every day when requested or when the maid service cleaned the room, it would plug up instantly. The staff was asked for another room, but could not accommodate us. The air freshener used by the staff was more like a bug spray, which it may have been, making the stay uncomfortable. Towels, although clean, were best compared to coarse sandpaper. Closet doors were frozen shut and could not be opened. The swimming pool is an interesting, exotic design, but the water was cloudy, too filthy for us. There were no tables, chairs, or drawers in the room, and no place to put the luggage other than on the floor. When we asked for these, we received a small round cocktail table and two plastic, outdoor/weatherproof chairs. So if you choose this hotel, we hope you are not as disappointed as we were because the quality of the rooms does not match the marketing.

Dipolog again
This hotel is alright for the price, I stayed there before several times and was always satisfied. The breakfast is OK, it was only fried egg and toast for me, I think Filipino guests seem to be satisfied with whats on offer. The only problem is a very weak WiFi. Overall, if I come back to Dipolog I likely will stay in c&L again

My review
I did not expect much from this hotel because of its location. The rooms were clean, there was WiFi and the decor of the room had a real Filipino charm. However, the food was awful but the deserts in the lobby were amazing. Try the halo halo or the knickerbocker. But you will have to wait a very long time to get your desert. And there is no good reason for it. The pool was inside. Why? It's a tropical island. The pool should be in the sun. The pool area was very dark and dismal. A black ceiling and dark walls. It was like a left over disco from the 1980's. No charm. And the water was freezing. Freezing. But nice. The staff was, as usual, very friendly and helpful. They use brass keys with your room number on it. I don't like this because if you loose your key someone can break into your room. Hot water in the shower was hard to find and oh you wanted to use the refrigerator you needed to rent it per day. Complimentary bottled water was provided every day.

Clean room but pool is a little bit dissappointing
The room was clean, and space was ok. The location is really good as it is situated near shopping mall and beach boulevard where you can have lots of activity to do. Food is not delicious, corned beef is with low quality, and they don't have many choices of viand, and ingredients are so incomplete - they're not generous with meat. And worst, you get the same food the next day. :-( Staff are not smiling, and some of them are so reluctant to accommodate your request. Internet was very slow. It took like a couple of hours just to post pictures on Facebook. The worst part is the pool. It was so disgusting that when we were about to swim, we saw vomit flouting around. The crew said probably it was from a kid who swam before we arrived. They don't clean it until we called their attention.
