RedDoorz @ VP Inting Street

RedDoorz @ VP Inting Street sits on Venancio P. Inting Avenue in Purok 1, Barangay Mansasa, Tagbilaran City — the “VP Inting” in the property name is simply the initials of the street itself, one of several Tagbilaran roads named for local civic figures rather than the national names, like Rizal or Carlos P. Garcia, that dominate the Poblacion core. It’s a ten-room budget guesthouse under the RedDoorz brand, carrying a Booking.com score of 7.4, rated Good, from 33 reviews — a solid mid-tier result for a small independent property in this batch of Tagbilaran hotels.

Rooms and Amenities

The guesthouse describes its own approach as focused on fundamental services and a clean environment rather than styling or extras, and the room list backs that framing: air conditioning, satellite TV across multiple channels, and free WiFi in every room, plus a 24-hour front desk for check-in flexibility and guest requests at any hour. It’s a no-frills format by design, aimed at travelers who want a dependable, clean room without paying for amenities they won’t use.

Mansasa’s Place in the City

Barangay Mansasa sits within Tagbilaran’s broader downtown area, close enough to the Bohol National Museum — the former provincial capitol on Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, reopened in July 2023 after post-earthquake restoration — to reach it in about a five-minute drive. The Cathedral of San Jose, seat of the Diocese of Bohol since 1941 and home to a bell tower completed in 1888, sits roughly a mile away. That places the guesthouse within the same general orbit as the city’s two most substantial heritage landmarks, even though Mansasa itself is a residential rather than a commercial or historic barangay.

RedDoorz’s Standardized Model in a Residential Barangay

Like the network’s other properties in the city, this guesthouse runs as a partnership between an independently owned building and the RedDoorz brand, which supplies app-based booking, standardized room specifications, and pricing consistency in exchange for a share of the revenue. Placing a standardized budget property in a residential barangay like Mansasa, rather than directly on a commercial strip, is a common pattern for the brand across Philippine provincial cities — it keeps land and construction costs down while still competing for OTA visibility against downtown hotels charging more for a more central address.

A City That Names Its Streets After Its Own

Tagbilaran’s street map carries a lot of local memory this way — small provincial and civic figures alongside the national names. Elsewhere in the city, Tamblot Street commemorates the babaylan priest who led a Boholano uprising against Spanish colonial rule in 1621–1622, one of the earliest organized resistance movements recorded on the island, well before the 1565 blood-compact alliance that gives the province its more commonly told founding story. A street named for a more recent local official, like Venancio P. Inting, sits in that same tradition of civic naming — a smaller-scale, harder-to-research example, but part of the same pattern of the city keeping its own history visible on its road signs rather than defaulting entirely to national heroes.

Getting Around From Here

From VP Inting Street, the seaport and Tagbilaran Boulevard are a short tricycle ride away, typically PHP 8–15 per person shared, and the Poblacion core — including the cathedral and museum already mentioned — is reachable the same way. For countryside day trips, the Dao integrated bus terminal on Carlos P. Garcia Avenue North runs Dao Transit and Aliga buses toward Carmen for the Chocolate Hills and toward Loboc and Baclayon; the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary in Corella sits along that same corridor. Panglao’s beach coast is a causeway crossing south of the city, generally twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic and the specific beach.

Rates and Reviews

The property lists from roughly PHP 1,730 a night, estimated from comparable Tagbilaran properties with a similar review score; confirm the live rate on Stay22 or Booking.com. A 7.4 score from 33 reviews puts this property ahead of several other budget options in this batch, though the sample size is still modest enough that a handful of new reviews could shift the average noticeably in either direction.

Who Should Book Here

This suits travelers who want a straightforward, well-reviewed budget room in a quieter residential setting rather than a commercial strip, and who don’t need more than air conditioning, WiFi, and a clean room to be satisfied. It’s a reasonable pick for short stays centered on the museum and cathedral side of the city, and a solid budget alternative to the pricier full-service hotels along Carlos P. Garcia Avenue. Travelers who want to be within walking distance of the seaport or the market district should look toward the Cogon or Dampas properties instead.
