Comments on: Should Baguio Hotels Provide Airconditioning? http://www.i-baguio.com/should-baguio-hotels-provide-airconditioning/ Insider tips on visiting, living & doing business in Baguio City, Philippines Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:43:43 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: lisa http://www.i-baguio.com/should-baguio-hotels-provide-airconditioning/#comment-13551 lisa Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:31:27 +0000 http://www.i-baguio.com/should-baguio-hotels-provide-airconditioning/#comment-13551 Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your observations. I agree that there are some hotels, especially those in the city center, and those lodging places made of concrete and which are set so close to other buildings should offer airconditioning. What of course folks must realize is the the price of a room will go up considerably once airconditioning is offered, whether or not the guest feels the need to turn the appliance on and regardless of the number of hours it is used. :) There are still many Baguio hotels that enjoy relative cool even at high noon, mostly the tourist hotels in the East side of the city -- Camp John Hay, Leonard Wood, so make sure you choose a place in these locations on your next few visits. Again, thanks for your thoughts. :) Hi Sarah,

I really think hotels and inns in baguio should have airconditioning. I am a frequent visitor in baguio and used to spend my whole summer vacation there when I was growing up and I have noticed that it gets warmer as the years pass. It gets stuffy and hot indoor at around ten in the morning to about 3 or 4 pm. I am sure people from other parts of the world would be more comfortable if they have an aircon to turn on and off at their whim. Hello.

Hi Vic, I know! I still am insulted but we are so busy cutting down trees and planting concrete structures in their place! Honestly, the center of town is horrid. We contribute to global warming by not making Baguio the walking city it used to be. Why is the Baguio of today so allergic to gardens and plants? Hi Zigzag,

Hi Vic,

I know! I still am insulted but we are so busy cutting down trees and planting concrete structures in their place! Honestly, the center of town is horrid.

WHEN BAGUIO CITY WAS STILL "YOUNG", RESIDENCE OF BAGUIO REALLY ARE INSULTED IF SOMEONE WOULD MENTION ABOUT A/C OR ELECTRIC FANS. AT THE PRESENT, GLOBAL WARMING HAD TAKEN PLACE AND AS A RESIDENT HERE FOR 35 YEARS, THE TEMPERATURE OF BAGUIO CITY HAD CLIMBED UP. SOME HOTELS HERE, ESPECIALLY THOSE LOCATED AT THE CENTRAL BUSINESS AREA NEED A/C. GOD BLESS! GREETINGS!

Hay naku, I just found out that Baguio has 4,437 REGISTERED jeepneys and 3,500 REGISTERED taxis. But my source in a government agency that monitors this on the national level says that there are there are 4,000 UNREGISTERED jeepneys and 4,000 unregistered taxis that are allowed to pollute the city. That a DENR study conducted just on the number of times jeepneys would pass under Hotel Veniz reveals 43,000 passes from 8am-5pm. Imagine that! Poor Baguio! It's being mismanaged on all levels.

The first was the reason they rebuilt, then after the building was completed it burned down again! How about Pines Hotel (now SM City), burned, too! Mario's at Manahan Building on Session Road (now KFC), burned! Baguio is so damp we don't have forest fires. What's this then? A 'little' negligent, wouldn't you say? Well, Evon, we can't blame them. There are windowless hotel rooms in the middle of the city and the noise. We should just make them aware that not all lodging in Baguio is equal. Katrina, who used to think the obsolete Ra-dars was aircon? Hi Resty, banks, for security reasons should be sealed and airconditioned. The reason the older groceries had such dusty merchandise was because of the doors were wide open and there was no airconditioning. But for one and all, my cousin drives her kids around in a mom mobile with closed windows. They have asthma, you see. A lot of folks have asthma in Baguio. The pollen I think.

Try the different supermarkets and different downtown department stores, they could be so stuffy at times. I'm glad for banks that are air-conditioned.
