If you want to experience a bit of old Iloilo, then Grand Dame's location with La Paz Market directly across the street and historic Jaro just to the north is a good one. While there are a few try-hard touches in the lobby which mean to evoke European sophistication, the rooms are tastefully and comfortably furnished.
