Cabanatuan City Getaway: PNY INN 3's Unbeatable Comfort!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into PNY INN 3 – Cabanatuan City’s answer to… well, comfortable. And let me tell you, after a week of dodging potholes and trying to decipher Tagalog (which, bless it its heart, remains a mystery to me), a comfortable hotel room is a godsend. This isn't your cookie-cutter review, folks. This is me, unfiltered, after a few days of serious R&R (and probably too much halo-halo).
First Impressions: Accessibility and Check-In – A Mixed Bag, But Mostly Okay
Okay, let’s get the nitty-gritty out of the way: Accessibility. I’m not in a wheelchair myself (thank heavens!), but I appreciate a hotel that thinks about it. PNY INN 3 seems to have mostly considered it. The entrance is level, the elevators are decently sized (though sometimes a little slow – patience is a virtue, people!), and the public areas are generally navigable. However, I did catch a glimpse of a bathroom in a common area that might be a touch snug for larger wheelchairs. Still, kudos for trying.
Check-in: Smooth enough. They offered the contactless check-in/out thing, which, honestly, is a lifesaver in this post-pandemic world. I’m all about minimizing human interaction when I'm stinky from travel -- unless it involves a massage. The staff was friendly, efficient, and spoke English. Bonus points! They also had facilities for disabled guests, which is a huge plus.
Rooms: Ahhh, Glorious Air Conditioning! (And a Few Quirks)
This is where PNY INN 3 really shines – in its room comfort. Let's talk about the Air Conditioning – bless its cotton socks! Cabanatuan can get hot, and the AC here is a glorious, icy hug after a day of exploring. My room had Air conditioning and a Mini bar and oh my god, the Free bottled water was a lifesaver. Seriously, I guzzled those things like a camel in a desert.
The bed was comfy, the pillows were fluffy, and the Blackout curtains…oh, those blackout curtains! They practically screamed "SLEEP!" I loved the Soundproofing too; no party-animal neighbors were banging on the walls. You also get a desk and Laptop workspace.
BUT – and here's a little honesty for ya – the bathroom felt a bit dated. The fixtures were functional, but not exactly Instagram-worthy. I mean, I could have used a little more counter space. But hey, at least the Shower had decent water pressure, and they provided Toiletries. I will gladly accept the provided Bathrobes and Slippers. So comfy. Really, really comfy.
Internet: Wi-Fi, LAN, and the Eternal Struggle
Okay, let's talk Internet access. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms is fantastic. And the connection was generally reliable, which is a HUGE win. I did notice that, at certain peak times (like, you know, when everyone's trying to upload their selfies to Instagram), the speed dipped a bit. Also, they offered Internet [LAN] as well, which is great for those who prefer a more wired connection. I would be more interested if there was Wi-Fi for special events!
Dining and Drinking: A Cornucopia (Mostly) of Choices
The dining options are, to be frank, impressive. You don't get that "stuck in a hotel with boring food" feeling here.
- Restaurants: Yes! Plural! At least one restaurant that had a good A la carte in restaurant menu of Filipino and, a good, solid choice that I appreciated. They also had things like Desserts in restaurant, which, come on, you know I'm in. There’s also an Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant.
- Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] in the mornings was a genuine highlight. They had your standard Asian breakfast options, of course, but also some Western breakfast choices, which, even for the local fare, was amazing! The Coffee/tea in restaurant was consistently good.
- Bars, Lounges and Snacks: The Poolside bar…sigh. I did not try it. I was too busy in my room! But it looked lovely. They had a Snack bar, which was great for a quick bite. The Happy hour looked tempting, I must admit.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Spa Day Please! (Almost)
Alright, this is where PNY INN 3 really tries to sell itself as a destination. I love it for that!
- The Spa Dreams: The Spa is definitely a major selling point. They boast a Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom and a Foot bath. However, let me warn you: the Spa is not quite as luxurious as the website photos suggest. The ambiance is a little… basic. But the massages? Pretty darn good. I opted for the traditional Filipino massage, and it was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring.
- Fitness Center: If you are one of those people who actually hits up the Fitness center, you'll be pleased. It has the right gear, it felt clean, and it had that view.
- Swimming Pool: I enjoyed a swim.
- Things to do: The Shrine is actually quite important to the area. The Terrace is very comfy.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure (and Sanitized!)
PNY INN 3 is making a serious effort when it comes to Cleanliness and safety.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hygiene certification, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays: You name it, PNY INN 3 is on it. It felt safe and well-maintained.
- Staff: The staff, as I mentioned, are well trained in safety protocol.
- Safety Equipment: They had all that stuff, like a Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, and all that jazz.
- Safety Features: CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Security [24-hour].
Services and Conveniences: They Got You Covered (Mostly)
They offer all the standards here.
- Essentials: The Daily housekeeping was efficient and unobtrusive.
- Conveniences: Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Outdoor venue for special events, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area.
- Extras: They have a Gift/souvenir shop, which is handy for last-minute presents.
For the Kids:
- Family-Friendly: Babysitting service and Kids facilities.
Getting Around:
- Transportation: They offer Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking.
My Verdict:
PNY INN 3 is not flawless. It’s a little rough around the edges in places. But that's part of its charm. It's a solid, comfortable, and conveniently located hotel in Cabanatuan City. The staff are friendly, the rooms are comfortable, and the food is pretty darn good.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your glossy travel brochure itinerary. We're going to Cabanatuan City, Philippines, and we're staying at PNY INN 3 (fingers crossed it's actually an Inn and not a glorified closet). This is gonna be REAL, and by real, I mean with all the messy emotions, questionable decisions, and the overwhelming presence of questionable decisions you'd expect from MY travel style. Let's launch this chaotic adventure:
Cabanatuan City Meanderings: A Week of Questionable Choices (and Maybe Some Fun)
Day 1: Arrival and the Sudden, Urgent Need for a Siesta
- 8:00 AM (give or take an hour, because jet lag is a beast): Land in Manila. Immediately, the humidity hits you like a wall of warm, slightly-scented death. My hair, which already has a mind of its own, has declared full-blown war against gravity.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Settle into the PNY Inn 3. Honestly, I hope the room isn't too depressing. I'm secretly praying for air conditioning that actually works. Found the inn, which was actually pretty easy since all the drivers know where it is (a good sign, I guess?). The lobby smelled faintly of… something. Unidentifiable. We'll see.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. Okay, so I'm STARVING. Found a local eatery with a plastic table and chairs, and the menu's all in Tagalog. This is where my questionable language skills will be put to the test. "Adobo." That's a safe bet, right? Praying it's not actually pork brains. [Spoiler: It was glorious. Maybe the best adobo I've ever had, and that's saying something.]
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: NAP TIME. A mandatory siesta. The sun is brutal, my brain is scrambled, and I need to recharge. Plus, the aircon? Actually WORKING! Success!
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Wandering around. Exploring the area around the Inn (assuming I actually wake up from the nap). Stroll? More like a slightly bewildered shuffle, but I'll try to find some landmarks or just something interesting.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner. Back to the plastic table, but this time, I'll be brave. Maybe I'll try something completely new! [The new: Fried chicken. And I burned my tongue.]
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime: Journaling. Reflecting. Regretting some of my life choices. Reading a book. Or, you know, just staring at the ceiling, pondering the meaning of life (and why I didn't pack more sunscreen).
Day 2: Markets, Malls, and Maybe a Motorcycle Disaster
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast. This could be interesting. Hoping the Inn has something edible. My stomach is already rumbling in anticipation.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Explore Cabanatuan Public Market. Okay, this is it. Full immersion. The sights, the sounds, the SMELLS… I'm bracing myself. I'm intending to buy some local produce (mostly because I figure I'll need to eat something, not just the fried stuff). Probably get ripped off, but it's all part of the experience, right? [I haggled! I actually haggled! I feel like a seasoned traveler. Okay, maybe not.]
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. Hopefully, I found something edible at the market. I'll need sustenance.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: MALL TIME! I know, I know, I'm supposed to be a rugged traveler. But I'm also susceptible to air conditioning and Zara. Might as well see what's on offer.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Motorcycle Adventure? (Tentative - depends on courage levels). Considering hiring a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) to get around. This could be one of two things: a thrilling adventure or a complete disaster. I'm leaning towards the latter. Wish me luck!
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner and drinks. Finding a bar and watching Filipino TV.
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime: Netflix and Chill (because I’m exhausted).
Day 3: Memorials, Museums and Cultural Immersion… or Just Avoiding the Rain
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Visiting the Plaza Lucero. I'm not going to pretend I understand everything about the history here, but I'll try to learn something. Taking lots of pictures, even though I'm terrible at photography. Maybe I will learn something, maybe I’ll just walk around looking vaguely confused.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. Gotta find a place to eat or else my stomach will be mad.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Checking out the Rizal Monument. My history knowledge is, let's say, patchy.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Museum visit. If I can find the local museum, I plan to visit.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Getting dinner.
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime: Reflecting on the day.
Day 4: A Journey to the Waterfalls
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Getting ready to go to the waterfalls.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Hitchhiking or bus ride depending on how adventurous I'm feeling, to a waterfall, it's all about getting there.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Finding lunch.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Finding the perfect spot to feel the natural flow of the water, maybe take a swim, maybe not.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Back to Cabanatuan City.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner in the city.
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime: Packing.
Day 5-7: Free Time, and Departure
- Day 5: This is where things get interesting. I've got a vague idea of wanting to explore more of the local area, but to be honest, I'm also open to just chilling at the Inn, reading a book, and avoiding the midday sun. Maybe I'll try to learn a few basic Tagalog phrases. Maybe I'll simply enjoy the quiet (assuming the karaoke bar isn't too loud). The beauty of this is, I can change it at any moment.
- Day 6: Repeat Day 5, but with slightly fewer expectations. Maybe I'll actually brave the karaoke bar (regret guaranteed). Maybe I'll find another hidden gem. Or maybe I'll just eat more adobo. No judgement here.
- Day 7: Breakfast, and a final stroll around the area. It’s time to say goodbye to Cabanatuan City.
- Airport: Head to the airport for my flight back. As I leave, one thing is guaranteed, that I’ll take with me countless memories of the Filipino people and experience the Filipino culture.
Imperfections, Realities, and the Unexpected:
- Transportation Woes: I'm fully prepared for the inevitable public transport delays, the language barrier, and the occasional habal-habal scare. I'm going to try to embrace the chaos. It's part of the adventure, right? Right?
- The Food Dilemma: I have food allergies, so I'll need to be extra careful about what I eat. Every meal is going to be a potential adventure or a potential stomach ache. It's a roll of the dice, my friends.
- The Humidity Factor: I'm picturing myself perpetually sweating, hair plastered to my forehead, and longing for a cold shower. I really hope PNY Inn 3 has good AC.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: There will be frustration, moments of pure joy, and probably a healthy dose of homesickness. That's life, and that's what makes travel so damn interesting.
- Unfiltered Thoughts: If I get lost, I will admit it. If I eat something that makes me regret my life choices, I'll report it. If I fall in love with Cabanatuan City, I will be ecstatic.
This itinerary is just a skeleton. The real adventure will be filled with spontaneous detours, unlikely encounters, and probably a few epic fails
