Angeles City Hotels & Accomodations

[Fast Eddie 48]

Nicest high end hotel in AC? I like Lewis Grand, really hated ABC. Looking to possibly try something new that might be a little nicer than Lewis. Any suggestions?

To Madisonguy.

Why you hated ABC what is the problem with this hotel, this is a good high end hotel that near all the actions there are casino resort near by like windus resort at Clark and Fontana resort casino with golf resort near by is 15-20 min away from field.

There aren't any higher than ABC.

You might enjoy Fields plaza (owned by ABC) or Kandi suites (condo).

Slightly below in terms of quality is Central Park Tower, nice rooms and decor, nice rooftop pool too.

Slightly below that is Queens, which has a better pool than CPT (in my opinion), but rooms not as good.

Or you could go further out into Clark Freeport Zone, where the golf resorts are. Very little to no bar action though.

For academic reasons. For newbies to find walking street and Plaza Hotel.

Sometimes, if travelling by car, you might want to be dropped off at the MacDonalds end of Walking Street as opposed to the Atlantis end.

Well, McD's might be the best landmark but it sounds ridiculous from an American marketing standpoint.

Maybe the marketing isn't targeted to you. Redickculous or not they are million dollar property owners. Maybe they have superb knowledge.

Anybody care to explain why we are looking for a landmark In Angeles? Walking street is a small street and you can practically walk in 5 minutes.

Landmark. Generally the biggest building or most noticeable property to use for directions. I don't know of any other recognizable building at that location other than McDo. Some girls might know about Western Union nearby there for a landmark.

What would be a better landmark?

I only stay at Central Park but my first visit I stayed at Penthouse. Upon check in I have all items in refrigerator remove and snacks. I thought that was foolproof due to the fact that I purchased snacks, soda and beer from the market; but one (1) time I guess they were confused because a Red Horse bottle was in the garbage and i had to spend; no lie 20 minutes explaining to them I purchased and stock my own devices and even showed receipt from market of items that I purchased. I am still a fan of Central Park even with that one incident. Although there was 1 elevator working during my visit in Decemberr.

I would agree about Central Park Tower. If I go to Angeles City again I'll definitely choose CPT.

Not sure but most anything would be better than that.

Just thought I'd do a quick comparison of the two hotels I stayed at in Angeles City:

Central Park Tower:

1. Think I paid p 3300 per night (paid cash to get the discount) for a room with a king size bed. Room was quiet and I was surprised that I wasn't bothered by construction noise next door. Also no issues with bed bugs as someone previously mentioned.

2. Room was nice, large shower stall for the GF and myself to shower together and plenty of hot water.

3. Wifi worked well in the room and was able to charge my phone at all hours without that annoying voltage drop during the day.

4. Rooftop restaurant and pool were nice.

Pacific Breeze (sister hotel to Central Park Tower):

1. Paid roughly the same for a similar room as I had at Central Park Tower.

2. Room was nice and included a jacuzzi tub; however, the one time the GF and I tried it out, the water pressure from the jets in the tub was so strong (non-adjustable) that it sent water shooting across the room. Had to call housekeeping to mop it all up. Shower was large but the one time I did get hot water I had to run the shower for 10 minutes first.

3. Wifi wasn't strong anywhere in the hotel and I could only charge my phone late at night as voltage was spotty during the day.

4. Took an hour to get a simple breakfast at the restaurant on the main floor and there was only one other table of 4 people besides us. The shallow end of the pool is 4' deep so my tiny 4'8" GF didn't want to go in.

5. Note that we had not consumed any drinks or used any toiletries that weren't free but on checkout the hotel tried to charge me p 140 for a container of milk that was missing from the fridge and a couple of bathroom items that were also missing. Does any hotel guest really bother with inventorying those items when they check in? I certainly don't and wasn't about to pay for items that we didn't use. Finally convinced hotel staff that we hadn't used any of those items but what a hassle. Told them they should either remove pay items from the room or inventory them with hotel guests when they check in. That's the first time this kind of thing has happened at any hotel I've ever stayed in.

6. If there's anything good about Pacific Breeze it's that it only has 4 floors so the elevator got me to my floor quickly and I was able to get my ass out quickly when the quake hit (used the stairs).

Saw most of the other hotels that people have mentioned in this thread with the exception of the infamous ABC Hotel. Where exactly is it? Apparently not near Walking Street.

I use Gotham Cafe, but most don't know it. Then I use Kokomos which most do know. Fortunately or unfortunately, the street side seats at Kokomos are a voyeur's paradise and there will be a dozen lecherous guys staring at any gal that is in the area. So, you will probably find the gal hiding on the other side of Voodoo, or in front of Rhapsody.

It's a rare bird that will go inside a restaurant and wait for you there.

Not sure but most anything would be better than that.

1. The marketing genius thinks that MacDonald's is staple food for westerners and we can't live without it.
.

Does anyone in the world not recognize the Golden Arches sign? Works for me as a landmark.

[Engine Driver]

The McD marker is just a landmark since it is at the main intersection. What would the marketing genius Niteluvr put on an advertisement?

2. Macdonalds is luxury food in the Philippines. A Big Mac, fries and coke is a days pay for most.
