These suites - more like roomy condos, apartments or flats - were built in 2012 but look a bit older.  That's the tropics.

I caught a P200 tricycle - he wanted P240 - from Lucena City's extensive port to the suites.  That took about 15 minutes.

Ariel warmly welcomed me although his English was poor.  On the ground floor, there  is a large grotto featuring St Joseph.  

I was given room 6 on what Filipinos call the third floor, two floors up stairs from the ground.  Yet there was only one other room occupied, so I couldn't work out why I didn't receive a room on a lower floor to minimise stair climbing.

The apartment had one bedroom with a strangely sized bed - King single? - plus a dressing table and effective airconditioner, plus a second bedroom that I did not use with two single beds, also with its own aircon.

There was also a large entrance area with couch and a TV with a good range of cable channels, as well as a kitchenette with a large fridge, table seating at least two, cutlery and crockery but stranegly no microwave.

Everything was clean, if a bit dated.

There was shampoo and soap in the roomy bathroom.  Hot water came pretty much instantly while the sole towel I was given, green not white for a change, was large and properly described as a bath towel.  

WiFi worked well without any interruptions.  While I didn't undertake a speed check, it was more than adequate for my Internet surfing and email.

Lighting was good in the bathroom and OK elsewhere.

The bedding was fine while the drapes blocked almost all light, I being one who vastly prefers a dark room in which to sleep.

There was some motorbike noise in the street, especially from 0530 in the morning but my sleep was fine.

In the morning I met young Rex, whose English was excellent and who has worked at St Joseph Suites for three years.  He found me a tricycle in no time, the fare to Lucena City's huge bus terminal being P120.

The Filipina room lady, in her late 40s or older, was also very friendly (which is typical in Philippines). 

This was an unexpectedly good value find at P1500 a night.  It was five minutes - P60 - by trike to Metro Poinjt Mall and I gather 10 minutes to competitor mall SM City.

St Joseph would I daresay have found this a good place to lay his head.

Affordable roominess

Nice hotel, offering kinda suite instead of a standard room. Bed was comfy , hot water by good pressure with a towel I like to call a towel.
Kitchen is without electrical equipment beside a fridge . U can’t even make an instant coffee. 
The room is terrible noisy , hard to find sleep. Wlan wasn’t connected to internet. Tv didn’t work too. 


Good stay

Price was worth it. More practical and cheaper than hotels. Facilities are complete and already provided - includes fridge and water dispenser. Ideal for families as the room is quite big with 1 queen bed and 2 single beds. Though the building is a few years old, everything is maintained clean. Beds are comfy and toilet has strong running water for showers. Strong ac and wifi.
Nothing to dislike in my experience. Just a suggestion though, I didn’t see where the parking area is since I used public transport but would be great if you can indicate in the listing as to where people can park if they have their car with them.

Highly recommended. More practical compared to other hotels in the area.

Rooms are big but there is construction when we went there so noise is a big let down. At times you can hear the buses roar from your room as this is along the main highway. Food is limited and shower is spotty.  Wifi is fast though

Sleep and Drive Away

We arrived late at the hotel but the crews and the owner welcomed us very warm. The room is very good and wide. There are many appliances here. The only thing that i dont like here is the location. The location is very "remote". It is not easy to find.

"A best place to stay for a short period of time"

Since we had a emergency, we ooked this hotel last minute to attend a family event.  

Although there was a map, we almost missed it as the hotel is located on the narrow end of a main street.  It was convenient as it was centrally located, clean (especially the bathroom) and the service was ok.
