City lights hotel baguio city

This hotel is near the cathedral on session road. Just a little bit of walking on the left side of the cathedrial. 
We gave this one a try since we already tried Bloomfield near sm baguio before and it was pretty nice so I wanted to give other hotels a try.
I would say this hotel is pretty average compared to bloomfield. It's one of those places where you just need to sleep and shower in. 
They don't have air conditioning but will provide a fan upon request since the rooms aren't that ventilated. 
They don't provide or at least the room we were in didn't have a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, room slippers, hair drier, water kettle (they had coffee but no hot water?), no refrigerator, no dining table also. I had to request for the room slippers cause the carpet was not that clean it made my white socks black on the unsersole. They also have just one small closet which is good for one person only, specially if you're going shopping there isn't enough room for storage. You'll end up leaving all the stuff in one corner of the room. 
the room we got was for two and had two beds i expected more ofcourse. Not being a diva here but hey their rates were more than Bloomfield.
Bloomfield on the other hand had all of those mentioned above, two closets also and the room rates were even cheaper. Few hundred bucks difference.
They both provided breakfast for two only difference is with city lights is was a buffet and in Bloomfield you had to choose a meal from the breakfast menu, just one meal and a drink. 
Both also had hot showers but the one in city lights is not that hot it had a setting to semi hot and sometimes it runs out so you have to wait for it to get hot again compared to the one in Bloomfield which was consistent and it really had hot temperature.
I'm not saying it's a bad hotel but I just couldn't help but compare the prices and the value of what was included in them. 

FYI the hotel will charge you if they find any stains on their towels or sheets. So I'd say it's not that child friendly if you have messy kids cause they may wipe food on the towels or bed sheets and you will get chaged for it. I had to wash my towel cause it got stained from my newly colored hair, only a bit but still I didn't want to get charged for that hehe luckily it wiped off with soap and water.

Here are some photos of the room we got- 

It's pretty neat. They only provide layered blankets and not comforters or duvets since the room isn't air condition or should I say it isn't cold at all. The windows also didn't have a screen so you could easily jump out of it, if you're crazy lol


This was the hallway. We ended up putting the stuff we bought on that corner since the closet was so small.


Tv section. This is the only table in the room and had only one chair hmm how do we eat then?! 
They also didn't provide any numbers near the phone, how do you call the lobby if you have any requests? Go down personally.


This is the bathroom. Impressive cause of the glass doors huh... It was ok. 
But heads up! no exhaust fan so you are in a sauna if you use the hot water lol 
And if you go #2 it's bound to have no other exit but the room. 


My experience was ok nothing different really, infact it had a lot less than what I expected. 
So there you go, my second hotel stay in baguio city. I will be trying more in my next visit soon.
Hope I was of help to those look for a place to stay. 
Till next time!
