A gentle reminder again, to call your digs both one month before your arrival, and again 2 days before your arrival. Confirm:
1) The hotel is open for your arrival.
2) The hotel is not a Q-only hotel, or alternately a Q + public stay (I found some; you'd have to be crazy to stay in a Q hotel). My recollection is that all Red Planet (10 hotels) and Go Hotel chains in NCR are Q-only. Lots of other hotels re-opened at some point as Q-hotels.
The reason for confirming with several weeks between, is that its entirely possible that after your first confirmation, the public hotel might have morphed into a Q hotel, or closed completely. WTF they didn't inform you? Phoning is better, as email might take them several days to read and respond to you (if at all).

I fondly remember my 2015 or was it my 2016 MNL farewell party, who cares, that I threw at Bottoms. I brought back 3 girls to the Fairmont. We were all smashed on Tequila (at least 10 shots each). The girls and I were trying to keep it together, but we must have been a site to behold. Ha Ha. Yet the Fairmont staff was 100 % gracious & welcoming towards my entourage and myself. No ID check / no nada / just smiles and that is the way I like it. But the Peninsula is super girl friendly too. I have only brought back 2 girls at a time to the Pen. Nobody cared. So Girl Friendly is a draw.
So what else matters? I will give it a shot:
The Pen has a nicer pool / garden setting. It is really lush and perfect for inviting girls over in the afternoon. More privacy for you and your guest. But the Fairmont pool area ain't shabby either. So, slight advantage to the Pen.
The Pen has a much larger lobby, but the Fairmont's lobby is more elegant. I don't think this matters much, but it is what it is. Advantage Fairmont.
Location: the Pen is closer to Burgos. I have walked it many times. But the Fairmont has easier access to the two high end shopping malls nearby. This is kind of important if you need to run out and get some cokes, mouthwash or something to eat. Advantage Fairmont.
Both hotels have excellent buffet breakfasts. Tie.
Rooms a newer at the Fairmont, but are very nice and well appointed at the Pen too. Tie.
So, I hope this is still relevant info. Have a great trip and let us know how it all works out for you. I know a lot of us are looking forward to returning to the PI, but we are waiting for the all clear ie the Covid BS (the mandates, quarantines, and protocols) to end.

The Fairmont had a small lobby as I recall with intense security. I cut short a 4-day stay because of it. The only girl that got through without being grilled was 8 months pregnant and probably they assumed I was the father LOL (met her online and she insisted on coming over because she hadn't had sex in months and was dying for it). Wild action, arching over the big belly to get the job done!
The Penn is an old line hotel that really has class. Its the grand dame of Manila hotels. I also booked it for a trip coming up in two weeks at $100 approx and consider it a great deal.
The pool area is also really nice.

Posts: 3269Peninsula and Fairmount hotels
In anticipation of future travel. I am considering the Peninsula and Fairmount hotels for 2-3 nights. Both are $100 a night.
I am wondering about quality and girl friendliness? I am assuming both are good accessible locations for outcalls?
Thanks for any useful information.

Posts: 10The Hotel SOGO chain caters to the short time market and has numerous locations. Not the most classy of places but you're only there for one thing. Good security as they always call the room to check everything is okay if one of two guests is leaving. Porn channel on the TV and 24 hour room service. If you intend using one for a few days, check that particular hotel on Trip Advisor as some are good and some are terrible.

Posts: 499You 389 alley 8 and clipper hotels
Hi, small info about these 2 hotels close to burgos street.
Clipper hotel.
Price in the range of 2 k for wide rooms, wide bed, hot shower, aircond.
Rooms on street side are noisy but stay ok.
Bit oldfashion but I liked the aviation theme of years 50 and especially the full 1st class Boeing 747 cabin which is under installation in the ground floor. I had the opportunity to give a look, it's a real front cabin with almost 5 to 10 seats able to transform in beds which have been implemented here. Bit crazy, and unclear what they will do with that, seems you can rent the whole for party, or use seats to sleep there. Strange but real plane cabin!!
Oyo 389 alley 8.
Just in the same street, I had an agoda price of 1400 php per night. Rooms quite big, hot shower, silent aircon, but bit oldfashioned here too. Anyway when you want a bit cheap but close to burgos it's cool enough.
One surprising point. I went in with a GF for the night plus a massage girl for 1 h. But after 10 pm. They refuse 2 guests, new policy they said, after 10 only 1 accepted. After long discussion and call to the management they accepted.
Seems a bit strange as this policy I read after don't say exactly that.
Edit : one thing noted also is that when i get contact with more regular girls through web sites, which I usually do, some of them don't like to come when I tell that I am in hotel close to burgos.... Bad vibe for them... Good lesson for me... Must choose hotel in more "normal" place next time !

Remember hotel security is your first line of defense.

So the simple solution to your initial inquiry is to tell your girls to text you when they are close to your hotel or when they have arrived so you can go down to greet them and bring them up to your room thus skipping the ID formalities, if that is what you want, or let the hotel security do its job ie call you to notify you that your your "friend" has arrived, ask if you want her to come up, and check her ID. Its up to you.
As to any hotel recommendations; I suggest you read the MNL Hotel thread first as there are many recommendations. Then phrase your question specifically to your preferences as regards to location, stars, and price. Note: All hotels in MNL that I am aware of are girl friendly.
