The previous day was a bit tiring from finding PKNY to the steep parking area of Hill Station at Casa Vallejo, from driving here and forth at Leonard to Luna Road.
From having a super full brunch at 50's Diner to being blessed at Baguio Cathedral. Dropping by at SM Baguio to waiting for my husband's best friend at Tacay Road and then finally a couple of hours waiting for my husband to finish their "Inuman session" at Erky's Ninong Edwin's house.

Since we are already at Tacay Road and the place where we are is already in front of Tacay Lodge, we decided to stay there and take a rest for the night before going to Manaoag church and finally going home to Manila.
Honestly, at first, we thought that the place was really for couples who would want to just have a one night you know?!? hihi☺
Why? Because as we inquire on the receptionist, they mentioned that the price of their room is 1000/night, same check in and check out time as other hotels, but since it's already past 12am of March 15 and we're also planning to leave by 9am we asked for a discount, guess what they have told us?
"Ma'am, Sir mag short time nalang po kayo."
Huwatt?!? as in short time!
Well, my husband just says "I am with my wife and son."
We've had 2nd thoughts on staying at Tacay Lodge at first, but then after my husband's reunion with his best friend since he is already "almost" drunk should I say, we decided to stay at this Lodge for safety purposes and for the excitement of lying in bed to rest.
Once you enter the vicinity, you would be asked, what's the enclosed gate'S with Letter and Numbers all about?
Guess what my husband thought at that time?

Since its name implies DRIVE INN, the couples who'd want to have a "short time" as the staffs would say, couples will just get their cars inside and that's it!
|
Hahahaha! Silly husband!
They've got us a room in the basement. I thought for the meantime that they'll give us their smallest room since we haggle for a discount.
But this lodge surprised us! I think a thousand peso will be worth your stay here, especially if you have your own precious cars.
1st the enclosed gates we thought of something else is way more different than we thought. Gladly, the enclosed gate will be for each guest's cars.
Surprise! Surprise!

| Absolutely! This spacious parking lot is all yours while you stay here. |
 |
| It's like your renting your own space! |

So we've had an up and down room/lodge, 2nd floor is the parking lot, the 1st floor is our room.
Nothing special with the room itself, it's just a simple but clean room. It has drawers, well a comfortable bed, a table, cable TV, but sorry they don't have WiFi access, I believe the signal is really bad at their area cause even our cellphones can't find a good signal, given also that we are at the basement.

Would like to note, that compared to our previous post (Prince Plaza Hotel), this simple lodge has a complete complimentary soap, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, a plus points for that.
But wait there's more! They gave us a discount to have our room until 9am for 660pesos only. Since my son is super tired and sleepy at 9am, we decided to extend so my husband could also extend his rest before taking a drive back to Quezon City. And we are happy because an hour extension would only cost us an additional 50pesos per hour.
Budget friendly lodge in Baguio for someone as picky as me.
Rating:
Price & Value of Money - 4.5 out of 5 stars
Cleanliness - 3 out of 5 stars, because the bed sheets when we arrived have footmarks on it! OMG, it seems a "kapre" has put his foot on it.
Service - 2 out of 5 stars, maybe not all, but the receptionist is kinda "masungit". She showed us a room upstairs but after a couple of minutes when we decided already to get the room, she says someone has already taken the room, so she'll just give us the room at the basement. Makes me lose my temper!
Ambiance - 4 out of 5 stars, cause I love waking up in the morning with the view of the trees and mountains and the sun rising. (which I wasn't able to take a picture, due to the overwhelming happiness of peace ☺.)
