Tuguegarao City is always top of mind when exploring the wonders of the north. This major urban center in Cagayan Valley, after all, serves as a primary gateway to the Ilocos and Cordillera regions, as the provinces of Cagayan, Kalinga, Apayao, and Isabela neatly converge near the city.
Travelers keen on discovering this northern region now have a brand-new place to call their “home away from home” with the recent opening of Robinsons Hotels and Resorts’ Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao on March 17, 2022.
Besides being Go Hotels' first property in North Luzon, it is also the first hotel under RHR's Go Hotels Plus category, which brings a new and refreshed signature look to the Philippines' largest essential value hotel chain. Thus, despite boasting upgraded amenities, Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao is able to maintain highly affordable price points.
According to Annalyn Yap, group general manager of Summit Hotels and Resorts and Go Hotels, it was a strategic decision to bring the innovative Go Hotels Plus brand to a strong location like Tuguegarao City. She adds that with the success of the established Go Hotels brand, it was time for Robinsons Land Corporation to expand its property portfolio and reach a wider and more diverse market.
Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao is ideally situated along the city’s main thoroughfare. Adventure destinations like the Callao Cave and Sierra Cave, which are among the more than 300 caves in the municipality of Peñablanca, are just a quick drive away from the hotel. Travelers visiting religious pilgrimage sites, such as the Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Piat, would also find it most convenient to book a room at Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao. While in the city, guests can make quick runs for essentials as it is within walking distance of Robinsons Place Tuguegarao.
For added convenience, Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao features a self-check-in kiosk, which was first introduced by RHR at Summit Hotel Greenhills in 2019. This not only minimizes face-to-face interactions, it also eliminates the need to queue at a typical front desk. Instead, guests with prepaid bookings receive a reservation ID or QR code through e-mail, which are then used to activate their room keycards at the self-check-in kiosk.
Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao has 136 spacious guest rooms, with 57 Superior Single rooms, 76 Superior Twin rooms, and three PWD rooms. All rooms have a fully equipped private bathroom with a hot and cold rain shower. For guests’ in-room entertainment, 32-inch LCD TVs are provided. To ensure the utmost comfort, beds are fitted with 100% cotton sheets with duvet covers and chiropractic and high-quality non-allergenic pillows.
To celebrate local flavors, Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao partnered with homegrown restaurant Patio Enrico, which has been a Tuguegarao staple since 2006. This elevates the customer experience as guests can savor Cagayan’s cuisine – favorites like Bagnet Sinigang and Pansit Batil Patung – without having to leave the hotel.
With Tuguegarao City a major player in the north when it comes to meetings and conferences, event organizers and businesses don't have to look elsewhere for well-equipped function rooms. Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao has two function rooms named after Cagayan's famous caves, Callao and Sierra. Callao is perfect for larger gatherings as it can accommodate up to 240 people in a theatre setup, while Sierra can seat as many as 140 people.
Introductory rates, offered until June 17, 2022, are at P2,022 nett for an overnight stay in a Superior Single Room; and P2,222 nett for an overnight stay in a Superior Twin Room. Go Hotels Plus Tuguegarao is located at 12 Pan-Philippine Highway, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. For more information, visit gohotels.ph or robinsonshotels.com.
