Holiday Inn, an IHG hotel opened in Cebu City last June and offered a significant discount for their opening. I did score one reservation, and though I wanted it to be on my birthday, the promo date was only until the last day of August. Still, I booked for an overnight stay because why not.

Getting there actually gives you a couple of…
