Angeles City Hotels & Accomodations

[Engine Driver]

I was having lunch there a few weeks ago and noticed half the customers were Koreans. They were dining with their girls. About a third were out in the pool are with their pinays.

Has Clarkton become a favorite of the Koreans? A poster wrote that the bar in Clarkton has gone Korean. Not that it matters to me.

Clarkton seems to be around $35 a night. Does anyone know if they have dedicated non-smoking rooms?

Many years ago it was a favorite with older Australians who liked to drink beer more than eat pussy. If the Koreans have now moved in, I doubt they would have any smoke free rooms. LOL. Good morning Mr Kim Sir! Would you like nicotine on your toast this morning?

Holiday over and stayed a solid 10 night stay at wild orchid resort, not orchid inn smaller sister, though one security I remembered from my last visit told me it's in the process of selling. Location wise, food, pool area just fantastic. They had August rainy days promotion on a 30% discount, room just OK already looking dated with almost everyday I noted a few mishaps. Broken lights, broken wardrobe door etc etc.

Maid services is really poor, during my stay I had to buy toiletries such as shampoo and shower gels. Comn with a discounted already rate of 3150 peso / night I expected more. One last thing is that at the moment there is a huge construction site, tall tower, going on nearby so its literally noisy big time from 8 am.

Had no problems with girls going in and out and security guys call to room before they depart.

The last time I stayed at Wild Orchid was at least 10 years ago or more. That property is just laid to waste now, a pale shadow of its former glory days. I knew a girl whose brother had painted the murals in Wild Orchid. Because of that connection she could never come and stay with me at that hotel. If they are charging P3000 for that shanty now, I am certain there are better places around town to stay in. I always stay at Lewis Grand, except the times when they are sold out. Never once had a problem with services or room amenities, although that place is also in steady decline over the last 3 years since the owner vanished.

If they are stitching you P3000 for that kind of place, try the new Kandy suites. Can be had on AirBNb for about P4,000 and it's super decent.

My report is dated by a few years. They have a set of rooms that are on the front entrance side. I don't think those rooms are worth it, they are old and dated. The newer rooms or were newer back then were much nicer. It is on the high end but back then for me being a light sleeper sometimes I got insomnia and needed very quiet. That would be my attempt to try and get some good rest. The problem I consistently had was their internet was always going out. I have no ideal if they have fixed that issue. I thought their restaurant was very sub par.

Good day fellas,

Upcoming trip to AC & have a few questions re. Accommodation. Was in AC about 5 years ago and during my holiday I been to one of the many afternoon pool parties that happened to be in Wild Orchid & Score birds. Since then I still remember the nice outdoors, great pool and relaxing ambience of Wild Orchid. Besides mongering there's not much to do in AC so IMHO this hotel looks perfect in terms of relaxing areas though I Have some questions about rooms conditions. By that time I stayed in Orchid inn but pool is small though superior rooms were OK.

Any rooms tips and overall service comments at Wild Orchid will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

"...Just I am being honest to you".

Whenever I hear this term in Philippines as well as other countries I am always on my guard. Good on your for resolving it.

If blood was impossible to remove then AC would be one of the top consumer cities of sheets.

[Dg8787]

Actually that has happen to me in Angeles on one occassion with attempted to be charged for damages to towels. I disputed and was not charged. On another trip to AC; blood was on the sheets; but I sent to laundry and did not have room cleaned that day so that I could get clean sheet back and not fight with hotel about damages.

Good idea to send it out to laundry. I stock hydrogen peroxide for this. Pour hydrogen peroxide on the blood and rinse in cold water. Wala blood!

I have found a (partial, or occasional) cure for such. Lipstick on a towel. Blood on bedsheet. "We try to clean it sir, but won't out the stain. Must buy new one. Charge to you for the towel (or sheet or whatever is damaged) is p550. Will add to your bill at checkout". I see. At checkout when they mention that, I ask to see the damage. They are good enough to show it (usually). If they cannot produce the damaged item they are charging for, they will drop the charge if challenged. If they do produce it (sometimes in plastic or shrink-wrap, like from the laundry service), I ask for the towel. "Sir?" Give me the damaged towel. I'm paying for a new one, the old one is now mine. I can use it as a floor towel, I can stick it in my suitcase. "Oh. Haha I see sir. Never mind the charge sir". Yes, as I thought previously, some lucky hotel employee is wanting the damaged towel (or sheet, or whatever). No hotel or condo owner has since stuck me for a damage charge.

Case of the missing top bedsheet at condo. One of my regulars started her blood in the middle of the night. We'd had playtime around 11 pm, showered, knocked off for the night, everything was fine. She was naked. In the morning, taking a whiz around 6 am, I noticed blood all over the top sheet (we'd slept on top of it). Got her up and showered and menstrual padded and on her way. I wadded up the dirty sheet meaning to launder it. Next night another regular was with me, and by bad coincidence the same thing happened, this time to the bottom sheet. A few minutes after she left, the condo-cleaning local host came by to refresh towels and sheets. He noticed the blood. "Hard to clean sir. By hand. Have to replace maybe. Just I am being honest to you". Thanks guy. He collected the sheets and departed. Few hours later a msg from the owner: "Jose says blood on sheets. I bought that set at Ayala for 2700. Might have to replace if we can't clean it. Maybe charged to you as damage". Check. The next day Jose the local host txt to say the blood can't be removed from the sheets. The owner msg'd to say there would be a charge. Check. A few days later Jose was back to refresh towels and sheets. Jose, I am being charged for the sheets. "Yes sir". I would like for you to bring me stained the sheets. "Sir?" I want them, they are mine now. "Oh". A few hours later he showed up with the bottom sheet only, and it was spotless. Jose, where is the top sheet? "I don't have sir". Was it clean like this bottom sheet? "Yes sir it was". Let me guess, Jose kept the top sheet or gave it to family. I msg'd the owner that the bottom sheet was clean and the top sheet is missing. "Don't worry, no charges to you". Thanks, guy. If I hadn't asked to see the sheets, I'd have paid to replace them (and they were clean).

They charged me for a bloody bedsheet! But he is right no charge for the jizz.

The cheaper rooms are rather small.

Good day fellas,

Upcoming trip to AC & have a few questions re. Accommodation. Was in AC about 5 years ago and during my holiday I been to one of the many afternoon pool parties that happened to be in Wild Orchid & Score birds. Since then I still remember the nice outdoors, great pool and relaxing ambience of Wild Orchid. Besides mongering there's not much to do in AC so IMHO this hotel looks perfect in terms of relaxing areas though I Have some questions about rooms conditions. By that time I stayed in Orchid inn but pool is small though superior rooms were OK.

Any rooms tips and overall service comments at Wild Orchid will be greatly appreciated.

Why not SM Clark? In case you have some luggage why do you want to carry all your stuff to Dau if you can have a bus more or less just across the road?

I took SM Clark to Trinoma in Quezon City P2 P bus. Nice convenient and made it in one and half hours on Friday. There are other buses also going to airport and other points in Manila. Timings are posted At the main entrance and you board there. My bus was on time.
