"When you check in, the hotel requested a deposit of 10,000 peso or by credit card. I asked if I could leave USD with them, and the hotel refused it. For those who do not have a credit card and stay for a short term, they will have to change from USD to peso and change again when they leave the Philippines. This comes with a cost, in term of money and time. Perhaps, this policy should be clearly stated in hotel advertisement, so that I can chose another hotel that do not require it. Otherwise, the hotel is very clean, staff members are good, and the breakfasts and outdoor pool are fine."
