Jeamco Royal Hotel - Baybay

My first time visiting Baybay Leyte and my most worried part is if the accommodation is clean and so on but Meaco Hotel didn't disappoint me. Very clean and very accessible to stores, restaurants and port. It was a nice stay.

Centrally located, clean, and affordable. This hotel is situated across from a busy bus terminal and at the top of two flights of stairs. The hotel employees were happy to port our suitcases up to our room. Our room was located very near the front of the hotel and there was some vehicle noises that could be heard in the room but nothing after 9 pm. The furnishings in the room were spartan, but clean and not worn. The cable tv was good as was the hot water in the shower. The hotel has Wi-Fi but it wasn't strong enough for us to connect to. There is no parking at the hotel property but at the advise of the front desk we asked and received permission to park at the gas station next door. The aircon comfortably cooled the room. There was no refrigerator in our room but the front desk sells cold water, soft drinks, and beer for a fair price. The bed in the room was comfortable but only featured two pillows. They made an additional two pillows available to us for a small fee. There were several choices for dining nearby including one all-night hamburger and hotdog restaurant just around the corner. We enjoyed a nighttime walk to the city's park near the seawall and were pleased to see several people enjoying it late in the evening. There is a shopping venue called Metro a few blocks away but we chose to visit the smaller shops around the block.

The property was decent, but there were issues with ants and also water leaks in both the sink and also in the shower. The room was clean though, which was a bonus.
