We arrived in Paoay a few minutes after 8pm. We were tired from the morning tour in South Pagudpud under the summer sun and from walking around Laoag City.
We checked-in at the first hotel we saw conveniently located beside the Paoay Church.
At first we thought the hotel was closed (A closed hotel, what a first!) until a little girl called the cleaning lady from the door opposite the entrance to Balai Travelodge. We were welcomed by the cleaning lady to a room with two double-deck beds at the second floor of a white two-story concrete building.
The cleaning lady was urging us to take the P1800 room which had a private bathroom. But seeing that the hotel was empty, I urged my travelmates to take the P1200 with common bathroom.
We took the cheaper room although the cleaning lady mentioned other guests were supposed to show up in the morning. They never came. The lucky streak remains.
It was a bearable stay. Nothing special.
The hotel had no other facilities that we can use other than the beds and the very comfortable pillow (yey!), the thin bath towel, the cabinet that had no hangers and the table at the veranda where we can't smoke.
Nothing extraordinary - save for the photo of Elvis Presley inside the bathroom that had 12 hooks as if a whole sorority will take a bath all at once.
I feel like Balai Travelodge was not well thought of. They had this key-card technology that will turn on the electricity inside the rooms but they do not have mirrors which is a basic item in a bedroom. They have a dozen of hooks inside the bathroom but there wasn't enough water coming out of the shower to get a chick wet in 2 minutes.
It remains to be a nice stay and worth it at P400/person.
