The 6-storey, 3-star Star
Plaza Hotel, overlooking the Pantal River, features 86 spacious and
well-appointed, non-smoking airconditioned rooms with flat-screen cable TV,
private ensuite bath, telephone, work desk and free
newspaper. Certain units have a seating area and a terrace or
balcony. During our visit to Dagupan City, we stayed in a 20 sq. m. Junior Twin Room (Php1,500 net) with 2 semi-double beds (Room 510) and the 32 sq. m. Family Suite (PhP2,500 net) which has 1 king-size bed and a mini-bar (Room 509). Both had no window view and natural lighting and, thus, were quite dark. There was also no free bottled water and tea/coffee making facility for guests.

The hotel staff was courteous
and helpful. Check in was fast and efficient. The hotel does need a major facelift as it is quite old. Located at the center of the city, Star Plaza was very
accessible to establishments around the Dagupan-Downtown area. Most are just a stone’s throw away (Chowking, Jollibee, Am-Ams Restaurant, True Brew, etc.). It is also a 10 min. walk to Dagupan City Plaza and Nepo Mall.
