Grandpa's Inn - Vigan

I have read many good reviews from visitors of Grandpa's Inn, which made us interested in choosing this place to stay in Vigan. Grandpa's Inn Hotel has a very good location. It is just a few minutes' walk to Calle Crisologo, a very good place to take photos with the Old Spanish houses with brick walls and Capiz windows as your background; the pathway is covered with cobbled stones. It is also a few minutes' walk to the Plaza and the City Hall. 

There are many hotels located in the Vigan Heritage Area.  I saw many of them during our second day of travel while riding the Calesa.  The Calesa driver informed us that hotel prices don't vary that much. He says we'll mostly have the same rates if we check in at another hotel.  Of course, prices can vary depending on the type of room and the number of people checking in.  He suggested that we check in at Villa Angela when we return.  It is the only hotel with a good parking lot within the hotel's boundaries.  Grandpa's Inn also has parking space for its customers but is located across the street.  Another suggested hotel was the Playa De Oro Resort, which was recommended by a tour guide from Buridek's Museum, a DSWD worker.  She was a very nice woman.  She highlighted that the hotel has a beautiful resort and a fantastic sea view.  

The Grandpa's Inn staff were informed of our arrival and prepared the Family Room for us, which can accommodate four adults and includes complimentary breakfast at their restaurant.  This spacious, air-conditioned room features two queen-sized beds.  It consists of a television with cable, and the bathroom is also clean and roomy, with a hot and cold shower and good WiFi connection.  A telephone or intercom to easily communicate with the front desk staff was missing in the room.  We also noticed that the water coming from the faucet smelled rusty.  I know it's not the hotel's fault but that of their Water District.  We had the same experience in Pangasinan, and our relative from Ilocos noted that they could not really drink the water from the faucet. 

Here's how the room looks:

Vigan Langgonisa has a salty taste compared to our regular Langgonisa that is sweet

We have a great deal in our hotel room.  They charged us P2600++  per night and included four free breakfasts. We are thankful that we didn't have to pay an extra fee for one additional child. Typically, each hotel allows only two children under 12 years old to stay for free.  We have three children, but since SJ is still a baby, they let him stay free of charge.  This is one of the benefits of traveling during regular days rather than peak seasons or weekends - we can take advantage of great hotel deals.  Below are additional details about the hotel you may need if you are interested.
