Mo2 Days Inn Bacolod: Your Negros Occidental Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because we're diving headfirst into the swirling, somewhat-chaotic world of the Mo2 Days Inn Bacolod. Forget perfectly polished reviews, we're going raw, real, and probably a little bit all over the place. This is my take – a messy, honest, and hopefully helpful look at whether this Negros Occidental getaway is worth your precious vacation time.
First Impressions and Getting There (Accessibility - Sort Of!)
Okay, so accessibility. This is always tricky. I'm not a wheelchair user, but I'll try to be objective. The press release says "Facilities for disabled guests" which usually means something. But, based on online photos it seems, well… let's say it's not the most cutting-edge accessible place. A big BUT: you absolutely should contact them directly to confirm specific needs. Their website isn't super clear on specifics, and accessibility is a big deal. I'd hate to mislead anyone. So, call them.
Getting to Mo2? Airport transfer is available (score!), which is a huge plus. Car park? Yup, free and on-site. Nice! That’s a huge win for convenience.
Wi-Fi Woes (and Wonders!)
Okay, let's talk INTERNET. Seriously, it matters. Especially if you're like me and need to occasionally pretend to work while actually… you know… vacationing. The good news is, FREE Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! Also, "Wi-Fi in public areas." Okay, fine. I tried to connect in the lobby, and… well, let's just say I had a better connection to the Bacolod sky than to their Wi-Fi. In my room, though? SOLID. Rock-solid. I could stream, browse, and even video call my incredibly jealous friends back home. So, room Wi-Fi? A+! Lobby Wi-Fi? Meh.

Things to Do… and Ways to Chill (Relaxation Station)
Right, so… "Things to do." Bacolod itself is awesome. But within the hotel? The "Spa/sauna" combo tickled my fancy. I love a good sauna, but after a long day of food tripping, (which I'll get to.. oh god, the food!) I opted for the Pool with a view. It wasn’t the crazy infinity pool I'd dreamed of, but it was cool (literally – it was hot in Bacolod), clean, and perfect for a lazy afternoon. No complaints here.
The "Fitness center"? I peeked. It looked… functional. My "fitness" sadly rarely extends beyond walking to the buffet. So, no expert opinion here.

Cleanliness, Covid-19 Comfort, and Safety
Okay, let's get the pandemic stuff out of the way. They're doing the whole hygiene certification thing. There are hand sanitizers, anti-viral cleaning products, and staff trained in safety protocols. Good. I saw "Rooms sanitized between stays" which is reassuring. Dining setup seems safe, with the "Safe dining setup". That’s what I want to hear!

Food! Glorious Food! (Dining, Drinking, and Snacking)
This is where Mo2 really shines, or at least, where I think Mo2 shines! Bacolod is FOOD HEAVEN, people. And Mo2 knows it.
The Buffet: Here is the absolute highlight. Seriously. I'm dreaming about it now. Breakfast [buffet] (Western and Asian), and it was a force of nature. Pancakes, omelets made to order, crispy bacon, and their own delicious take on the classic Filipino breakfast. I ate so much I almost couldn't leave my room. The "A la carte in restaurant" is your mid-day snack or dinners. I enjoyed it, it can be a bit slow as they are a busy hotel.
The Bar: I made a pit stop at the bar, a few times… "Happy hour" is a godsend! The drinks were strong, the prices were right, and the bartenders were friendly and quick.
Coffee Shop: Good coffee is a non-negotiable for me. The coffee shop did the trick.

Services and Conveniences (The Little Things That Matter)
- Air conditioning: Essential in Bacolod! A+ there.
- Daily housekeeping: The room was spotless!
- Concierge: Friendly and helpful!
- Doorman: Always a nice touch.
- They have a "Convenience store" on site.

For the Kids (And the Young at Heart)
Family-friendly? Definitely. "Kids facilities" are mentioned.
The Room! My Sanctuary (Available in All Rooms)
Okay, the room! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The bed was comfy. The Blackout curtains are my best friends ever and a necessity when you're trying to get some quality sleep in between food adventures. The bathroom was clean, the shower was hot. They have a coffee/tea maker. And the balcony, for when you want to sip that coffee while you plan the next food trip.
The Not-So-Pretty (Honest Anecdotes)
Okay, imperfections. Because, let's face it, every place has them. The elevator was a little slow, the lobby was a tad under-decorated, and the occasional blip in service. Nothing major, but worth mentioning.
My Emotional Reaction (Because Why Not?)
I loved Mo2 Days Inn! I did. It wasn't perfect, but it was charming, comfortable, and conveniently located. But it wasn’t a five-star luxury experience. It was a solid, reliable, and friendly hotel in a city that stole my heart.
The Ultimate Verdict
Would I go back? Absolutely! Especially knowing the buffet breakfast awaits (and, you know, the happy hour).

Okay, buckle up buttercup. This ain't your sanitized travel blog. This is my brain, after a few too many San Miguel Lights in Bacolod. Here's my semi-coherent, gloriously messy itinerary for a "getaway" (and by getaway, I mean a chance to actually be alone with my messy thoughts) at the Mo2 Days Inn.
Mo2 Days Inn: Bacolod – The Good, the Bad, and the Surprisingly Comfy Bed
Day 1: Arrival, Confusion, and Chicken Inasal Dreams (and a Potential Existential Crisis)
1:00 PM – Arrival & Judging (and Judged): Landed in Bacolod. The airport? Small, efficient, and blessed with the overwhelming scent of something frying (probably chicken). The tricycle drivers were a pack of hungry wolves, each vying for my luggage and my soul. Chose the one with the least greasy hair. Immediately regretted it. The ride to Mo2 Days Inn was a blur of traffic, jeepneys spewing fumes, and a nagging feeling that I’d left the oven on back home.
- Emotional Reaction: Anxiety. Mild panic. Wondering if I remembered to pack underwear. (Spoiler alert: I did. Thank God, because the humidity here is brutal.)
- Quirky Observation: Bacolod is the city of smiles, they say. Pretty sure the tricycle driver was practicing his death stare on me.
2:00 PM – Check-In & Room Reconnaissance: Mo2 Days Inn. The exterior? Bland, functional. The lobby? Air-conditioned, and blessedly quiet. The room? Uh…well, it's a room. Cleanish. Bed looks comfy, which is the most important thing at this point. Bathroom? Adequate. Smells vaguely of disinfectant and a hint of desperation.
- Messy Structure: I'm already second-guessing my life choices. Why did I come here alone? Am I just running away from everything? Oh wait, nope, just craving that Chicken Inasal.
- Anecdote: There’s a suspicious stain on the wall. I choose to ignore it. Ignorance is bliss, especially when it comes to mystery stains in budget hotels.
3:00 PM – The Search for Inasal & Cranky Stomach: Okay, time to face my destiny. Chicken Inasal. This is why I'm here. Heard Manokan Country is the spot. Walk there, sweating profusely, wondering if I have enough sunblock, and already hating the sun.
- Opinionated Language: Okay, this is why I fucking came. I have this insane craving that's been haunting me for days. Chicken Inasal, you better be worth the heatstroke!
4:00 PM – Manokan Country: Chicken Nirvana (and Regret?): Found Manokan Country! Glorious, smoky air filled my nostrils. The smell of charcoal grilled chicken was overwhelming. Ordered the chicken inasal and the garlic rice and the atchara, and mango shake!. It was… magnificent. Juicy, flavorful, the perfect amount of char. Ate it all, right down to the bones.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated joy. Literal bliss. I'm not sure if I've ever been so content.
- Rambles: Okay, okay, maybe I overdid it. My stomach's starting to churn a bit. But WORTH IT. Absolutely worth every single spicy, smoky bite. The mango shake was a religious experience. Seriously.
6:00 PM – Post-Inasal Slumber & The Existential Dread Returns: Back at the hotel. Stuffed. Exhausted. Considering a nap. The Inasal coma is kicking in. But also… the existential dread. It's like, what's the meaning of it all? Does the stain on the wall represent my shattered dreams? Am I just a chicken-craving machine?
- Messier Structure: Okay, maybe I'll skip the existential stuff for now. Another mango shake might be a good idea… or not. Maybe. I dunno.
- Anecdote: Tried to watch TV. The cable is fuzzy. Gave up and just stared at the ceiling, which is strangely comforting.
8:00 PM – Night Walk (and mosquito ambush): Decided a walk was needed to digest the massive meal, and to get away from the room. Got my shoes on and opened the door to the street!
- Stronger Emotions: I was devoured by mosquitoes. Literally. I was the main course.
- Quirky Observation: Bacolod at night is hot, so hot, and the mosquitos are hungry.
10:00 PM – Back in the Room, Regret, & Sleep: Got back to the room, after the mosquitoes and the heat.
- Opinionated Language: Okay, I think the worst thing that happened was the Mosquito, and the rain.
- Rambles: Should I have listened and brought that Mosquito repellent? Never mind, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep.
Day 2: Museums, Memories, and a Flight Out.
7:00 AM - Woke up and Ate Breakfast: The Free Breakfast served to the hotel, it's simple but still good.
- Stronger emotions: Today is my last day, I feel somewhat sad.
9:00 AM - Exploring and Sightseeing!: I decided to visit the museum located in the town.
- Opinionated Language: The museum is really good.
12:00 PM - Flight Out: I went to the airport and prepared myself to fly out.
- Messier Structure: I will be back
1:00 PM - Farewell Bacolod!: I'm out.
- Stronger Emotions: Bye Bacolod!
Things I Forgot:
- Mosquito Repellent (seriously, learn from my mistakes)
- An open mind (optional, but can be helpful)
- My ability to make meaningful travel plans
- A camera (only phone camera)
Final Thoughts:
Bacolod. It’s a place. It's hot. It's full of smiles (mostly), and it has Chicken Inasal that will ruin all other chicken for you. Mo2 Days Inn? It's a place to sleep. Simple as that. Would I go back? Probably. Because, you know… Chicken Inasal. And maybe, just maybe, to finally figure out the mystery of that wall stain. Until next time.

Mo2 Days Inn Bacolod: Spill the Beans! Your Negros Occidental Adventure Starts Here (Maybe...)
Okay, so...Mo2 Days Inn. Sounds fancy. Is it *actually* fancy? (And by fancy, I mean... Instagrammable?)
Alright, let's get real. "Fancy" at Mo2 Days Inn? Hmmm... It's *Bacolod* fancy, you know? Think clean, functional rooms – the aircon works (praise be!), the Wi-Fi mostly cooperates (though don't expect Netflix miracles), and the beds… well, they’re beds. They will hold you. Instagrammable? Okay, listen. If you're going for the "minimalist, clean-lines" influencer vibe, maybe. The lobby is… modern-ish. The rooms are, let's just say, they don't *detract* from your selfie. Think more "practical for a budget city break" than "OMG, chandelier!" I, personally, care more about the bed being comfortable enough to collapse in after a day of slurping *inasal* at Manokan Country, so I'm pretty fine with it.
But here's a truth bomb: One time, I saw a guest trying to take a picture of the water coming out of the shower head. Look, I get it, you're trying to make it work, but unless you're doing a "day in the life of a budget traveler" post, you might wanna focus on the *food* pictures. Trust me, you'll have better snaps of the Chicken Inasal.
The location. Is it *conveniently* located, or am I going to spend half my vacation sweating in a tricycle?
Okay, so location is key. Mo2 is… centrally located. You're not *right* in the heart of all the action, like a block from the Lacson Street party. But it's a short tricycle ride (or a brisk walk if you're feeling energetic and the sun isn't *completely* trying to kill you) to the major attractions. The Provincial Capitol Park and Lagoon? Close. SM City Bacolod? Easy peasy. Manokan Country (the Inasal heaven!)? Within spitting distance, and that's a *huge* win.
One time I went to Bacolod and stayed in a hotel *way* out of town, and I swear, I aged five years waiting for a taxi. Never again! Mo2's location is a lifesaver for a first-timer, or you're not the type to wander too far, as I am. It's ideal for a quick exploration of Bacolod, without the hassle of constantly being stuck in traffic or calling for rides.
The Rooms: Spacious? Cramped? Do I need to pack my own hazmat suit?
Room sizes... yeah, they're decent. Again, manage your expectations. It's not a suite at the Ritz. But the rooms are clean and well maintained, and you honestly what you need. The bathroom? Clean. The aircon? Cold. The bed is comfortable enough. That's pretty much the holy trinity as far as I'm concerned.
I'll be frank. I'm not the tidiest person. So, when a hotel room *isn't* a complete biohazard, I'm already thrilled. My expectations generally start at "not actively trying to kill me with germs". Mo2 Days Inn mostly avoids any of those issues, and I appreciate it.
Now, about the "pack your own hazmat suit" thing -- just don't leave food out. Honestly, I don't. Pack some disinfectant wipes, probably a good idea in any hotel. But hazmat suits? Not necessary.
What's the deal with the breakfast? Free? Edible? Worth waking up for?
The breakfast... ah, the breakfast. Okay, so, breakfast is often included. It is the standard Filipino breakfast fare. Expect your rice, your *daing na bangus* (dried fish – a Bacolod staple!), your eggs cooked to order. It's *fine*. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it's a good, solid way to start the day. And hey, it's free, which always makes things taste a little bit better, right?!
Once, I was hungover (sorry, Mom!) and the free coffee was a lifesaver. That's the ultimate test, right? Can the hotel breakfast cure a hangover? (Disclaimer: results may vary).
Now, if you're a breakfast snob, you might want to bring your own granola. But for most of us, it’s gets the job done. And hey, if you REALLY need a gourmet breakfast, you can always find a good cafe nearby.
Anything else I should know before I book? Hidden fees? Mysterious extra charges? Ghost stories?!
Right, the fine print. Always read the fine print! I've never encountered any *particularly* nasty hidden fees at Mo2 Days Inn, but always double-check your reservation confirmation. Check-in and check-out is pretty standard. The staff is usually friendly.
As for ghost stories... I've never personally encountered any, but I always sleep with the lights on, just in case. Bacolod is a city with history, and you never know. (Joke! Mostly.) If you're easily spooked, maybe bring a nightlight.
One (minor) thing to keep in mind: during peak seasons like MassKara festival, book *way* in advance. Prices go up, and rooms book fast. Trust me on this one. I learned the hard way.
Overall, Mo2 Days Inn is a great option for a budget-friendly stay in Bacolod. It's not perfect, but it's functional, conveniently located, and it won't drain your wallet. Just be prepared for the Bacolod experience, which can be a bit... well, Bacolod.
Okay, let's get real: The Wi-Fi. Good? Bad? Nonexistent and the source of all my rage?
The Wi-Fi... Ah, the eternal struggle. Let's just say, don't plan on conducting any top-secret, high-bandwidth video conferences from your room. The Wi-Fi is generally...there, but it's not always the speed of light.
Now, I'm a blogger, and I depend on decent Wi-Fi to upload photos of chicken inasal, so I get a little *twitchy* when the connection is spotty. Usually, it's stable enough for basic browsing, social media, and maybe streaming a quick video. But if you're a serious streamer or have work that requires a rock-solid connection, consider tethering to your phone or planning on spending some time in a cafe.
I had a near-meltdown once trying to upload a video of my *inasal* feast. The upload failed, the frustration built, and I swear, I saw my blood pressure spike. So, consider this your warning: Wi-Fi can be a little unpredictable. Pack some patience, and maybe a mobile hotspot. Just in case. BacolEscape To Inns
