Microtel Mactan will also be the first hotel in the country to adopt the award-winning new interior design of Microtel. This new suite design is contemporary and streamlined yet practical, and provides guests with exceptional comfort and the great value that they have come to expect from Microtel. The only one in the chain with a modern retro theme from the lobby to the guestrooms, the interiors will feature an interesting interplay of colors from the walls to the furniture and other room fixtures.
