Coming from Guimaras, looking for a decent place to stay in Iloilo, specifically in Iloilo City wasn't a big problem to us since the port where we came from is surrounded by buildings, schools and markets. And finding a good transportation service too, wasn't that hard.
I, and two of my superfriends, chose to stay in this place called City Corporate Inn. Though, we really don't have any idea about the place, finding it in the city proper was already a good deal to us.
Settled in the downtown area, on the corner of Rizal and Guanco Streets, Iloilo City, City Corporate gave us quite a comfortable stay in Iloilo with their reasonable prices and comfy rooms.
Coming from Ortiz Port, I think we just walked 5 to 10 minutes to reach this place. If you are coming in here with big luggage, tricycles are available outside the port that can take you here. I think the fare would be Php10.00 per person. But if you are just like us, travelling with backpacks, walking to reach this place is so easy.
