The Luxur Place is a former Casino and has its perks and downsides. Perks are an excellent pool, large rooms with bath, while most hotels in the Philippines have only shower, quiet location and a 24h restaurant. The latter is operated round the clock, as only part of the building is used as a hotel and there are several call centers. There is also an English language school in the hotel. They are obviously offering package arrangements (board and tuition) to foreign students mainly from Korea and Japan, so in the evenening the students occupy the restaurant and study. Some people may find that disturbing - I found it refreshing.
The hotel shows its age, but not in a bad manner, but more like the patina on a beautiful brass vase. I liked it and would stay there again. The price is reasonable.
