WARNING for Remote workers: Hotel Sentro’s Free Wifi blocks VPN logging, so You will not be able to work Remotely. Book somewhere else if you are a leisure traveler planning to work remotely! This isnt the hotel for you. What is frustrating is that i emailed Hotel Sentro Legazpi more than a month before my reservation dates Dec10 -14, 2023. I asked them how fast their wifi and I informed that I’m going to be working remotely. They replied to me that their wifi speed was strong and they even included a screenshot of an internet speed test result. However, they missed mentioning that they restrict VPN access thru their wifi. Unfortunately for me, I found this out when I was already in the hotel and ready to login for work on my second night. This caused me wasted time trying to troubleshoot the issue, not to mention incredible stress. On my third night, I booked a stay at Hotel Inigo, just so that I can work remotely, because I cannot afford to miss some important meetings scheduled on that day. On my fourth night, I filed a leave from work. I tried to complain but the friendly/aplogetic frontdesk hotel staff told me that it is a hotel Policy that they “cannot” change. The hotel staff were incredibly polite, always willing to help, and very apologetic to my issue. However, my entire stay with Hotel Sentro got spoilt by this issue. Whoever decided on this needs to reexamine and change this policy quick, because restricting VPN doesn’t make any sense! Hotel guests need access to strong secure wifi and remote workers like myself connect to VPN to be able to login to their company’s respective servers. Hotel Sentro needs to be very transparent on what their Wifi policies are. They need to spell this out in their website, so that people like myself wont go thru this nightmare ever again.
