Before you check in to INNtel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request rooms on the higher floors (above the 5th floor) for a quieter stay, as lower floors might be more prone to street noise. Considering the hotel's 8 floors and the typical construction of buildings in Cotabato, rooms on the upper floors are likely to have a more solid concrete floor structure, which can help reduce noise from the street.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the service entrance or lift as they might experience more foot traffic noise, especially during peak hours.

🪟

Best views

Given the hotel's location in Cotabato, rooms on the west side (facing the street) might offer a view of the city's urban landscape. However, please note that the hotel's address does not provide specific information about the view from each room.
