Crown Regency Hotel and Towers
Booked the room for Sinulog. Perfect view of the parade from the 32nd and 9th floor (pool). Super easy to run down to the parade, wander around, and get awesome food. The room was very spacious, two full size beds. Very clean. Nice bath, no hot water…but not unusual in Cebu. Very clean and updated. ...
