🏨 Quezon Premier Hotel Lucena: A Dinosaur Arch, Unexpected Stays & Honest Review

🦕 First Impressions: A Hotel with a Dinosaur Arch?!

On my second visit to Quezon Province, I finally gave in to curiosity and booked a room at Quezon Premier Hotel – Lucena, famous for its dinosaur statue and castle-like arch. Honestly, I thought it was a theme park at first glance!

📍 TIP: The actual hotel is tucked behind the Sioland Starshop. Walk past the building to find the main property.

🛏️ Room & Accommodation Experience

I stayed in a standard suite for ₱1,650/night (for 2 pax, breakfast included). The room was okay, but there’s room for improvement:

• 🚿 No shower curtain – expect wet floors after bathing
• 🛋️ Sofa with holes and dirty bedsheets
• ☎️ Non-working phone in the room
• 😨 Scary moment: Someone tried turning my doorknob on the first night; staff brushed it off as a “mistake”

🧳 First time traveling alone — I was honestly shaken. Not the best feeling for solo female travelers.

🍽️ Dining at Green Nature Restaurant

I liked the wooden interiors — cozy and charming — but the breakfast was disappointing:

• ❌ No options
• ❄️ Food served cold
• ✅ Beef tapa was okay

 

💚 I appreciate the ambiance, but food consistency needs improvement.

🌟 Would I stay again? Not unless they improve. I love the concept and the effort to provide unique aesthetics, but safety, cleanliness, and food service are non-negotiables for me. 🥴

If you're planning to stay here, just manage your expectations, especially if you’re used to higher-end accommodations.
