Title: Manila hotels? Post by: shadow on March 01, 2002, 05:00:00 AM Ok, where does everyone stay in Manila? I have spent a couple of nights at the midtown, and was marginally satisfied. However, at $30 a night maybe there is a better one, or cheaper? All input welcome.
I fly out of Seattle on the 5th of march, so far away! :) Larry. Title: Re: Manila hotels? hi larry Post by: jim in the pi on March 05, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Manila hotels?, posted by shadow on Mar 1, 2002

About Manila hotels, This is my first real stay in Manila and I chickened out and booked the Manila Galleria Suites for $83 dollars a night. Luckly I'm putting the bill on my credit card. ( At least till I get back and start making payments.) Surigao Ken P.S.

Hi Ken! Yeah, I think that’s right. I usually went to San Nicolas De Tolentino Cathedral. That’s the big one across the street from Rizal Park. Not sure which open air church you mean. Are you allowed to fart in the open-air church? I guess they are all semi-open air. I used to get a kick out of the dogs sleeping in the aisle. Nobody seems to mind, they just step over them. Then you have all the birds flying in and out and chirping up a storm. Did you ever see another foreign dude in church when you went? I never did. It’s tough when you are a foot and a half taller than everyone else and you need to pick your nose. If you are in Cebu and you have the chance, make sure you visit the Basilica Del Santo Nino. That’s a must for Cebu! Ray Title: Re: Re: Manila hotels? Post by: Humabdos on March 02, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Manila hotels?, posted by Surigao Ken on Mar 2, 2002

Larry, if you're willing to upgrade to $40-50 per night you can stay at the Aloha Hotel on Roxas Blvd. From the balcony you can see a stunning sunset on Manila Bay. http://alltravelnetwork.com/philippines/alohahotel/ Jim Title: Hmmm...

Hi Jim, For $40-50 per night, that view better include a stunning moon from Maria Fe! Woops Sorry! This Gabriela thing has made me a little crazy...just trying to live up to their expectations. ;o))) Dave "Sick Puppy" H. Title: Re: Manila hotels?

Hey Hum, What kind of bar is named "slouch Hat bar" and is not a girlie bar? This "Gabriela Philippines Tour Book" really sux! ;o)) Maybe I'm thinking of the "Couch Cat Bar." Can they at least deliver drinks to my room? ;o))) Dave "Honorary Woman" H. Title: Maybe...

I stayed at Palm Plaza....Los Palmas....and Hotel Frendy. I think Hotel Frendy was by far more satisfactory. They had a bigger room. The rate was P1200 per night when I was there in April, 2000. Shadow....how long will you be there? Tess goes to Manila on 3-18 and I will fly to join her on 4-5. Have a good trip. Stephen Title: Re: Re: Manila hotels?
