Sampaguita Tourist Inn Davao City

Located at Mt. Mayon and Camus St., is the Sampaguita Tourist Inn New, because the old building is just a few blocks away.
Perfect for a budget consicious travelers.  A few weeks earlier we booked for both Sampaguita Inn - old and new, however bookings are only accepted at the old building since the new Sampaguita Inn only accepts walk-in guests.
 Straight from the airport we decided to walk-in at Sampaguita Inn New, unluckily there are already guests waiting for check-outs by 12NN, I think we're 3rd on the list. Earlier we had an early flight so we arrived at Sampaguita new 30mins past the hour of 10. And there's no guarantee that there will be check-outs by 12NN.


My hubby decided that we check out the Sampaguita Old since we already have reservation. We just walked going to the old buildiing since it's just a stone away from the new one.


We approached the front desk, unfortunately the front desk attendant was so cold.  She hurriedly say "wala pa pong nag che-check-in, mamaya pang 12.." eventhough I already told her that we have a reservation, but I didnt get a beautiful response, until I approached suppose to be a senior attendent, I said that I have reservations for this day up to this day, annd she acknowledges, look for my name on the list and advised her staff that if there are early check-out, we will be the priority. (because there are also walk-in guests who are waiting)


So much more to say sana, but I think that front desk attendant is not that entertaining to the guest of the Inn.


We just had our lunch while waiting in the hotel's canteen.
