This enables them to observe, validate and respond to their guests needs and wants accordingly. “The management takes every review and comment seriously. We want to make sure that our guests are satisfied with our service and if they had any concern that weren’t brought up during their stay we make sure that we address them properly. Part of our strategy in keeping our brand at par with global standards is extending our services online and by staying connected with our guests before and even after their stay at the Avenue Plaza Hote,” she said.

They were warm, friendly, fun and always accommodating. The service was great across the board and I could not have been more pleased.Next time I'm in Naga, I'm definitely staying at The Avenue Plaza.” Domestic travellers like Ms.Tess from Manila couldn’t agree more. Greatly pleased with her stay during a national convention held at the Avenue Plaza, she said that she will definitely come back and won't hesitate to recommend the hotel.

Ms.Perez said that it always delight them whenever their guests tell them that Avenue Plaza, an independent hotel in a provincial city, is comparable to international chain-hotels. “Most of the time, people get surprised upon knowing that Avenue Plaza Hotel is managed independently by my boss, Mr. Allan S. Cu and his wife Ms.Gwen Cu who oversees the design and cozy aesthetics of the hotel. With all modesty, I really think they deserve a Tourism Star for advocating excellence in the hospitality industry thus making Avenue Plaza one of the best accommodations in the Philippines. I hope our previous guests can also share their stories and nominate Avenue Plaza Hotel as their Tourism Star” she added.
