I had a mixed experience at The Oriental Leyte. The staff service was decent, and I appreciated the complete amenities in my room along with the free breakfast buffet. However, the spotty Wi-Fi and poor cell service were major downsides for me, especially as a business traveler. Overall, it could use some improvements.

Though airport transport was available, it depended on driver availability. The Wi-Fi was a significant letdown, and I had to go to the restaurant just to get a decent signal.
