I was always happy with the hotel, although your standards might differ, and I don't recall any issues with noise. Safe in room, and aircon worked, although key-card for room had to be inserted in a slot to turn on electricity (lights, TV, AC etc.) No problems about guests ST or LT. I used to regularly see an Arab businessman who had a mamasan deliver a choice to the lobby. I also took a girl from G-Point bar into the Jollibee's opposite, and we were both called out to by the bartender!!

Posts: 74City Garden suites
Hi.
I need an advice.
My first trip to Manila and there have been booked hotel for me. City Garden Suites, Ermita.
I want a good hotel with quiet room, good aircon, safe at the room. And according to the web all this is ok.
But what about the possibility to bring in ladies without problems for ST or LT? I always book the room for 2 person although I travel alone.

The system to register guests is from condo to condo very different. Some ask a preregistration with copy from ID sent to the host. Other guards playing Judge-of-Moral and make the registration process to a hassle. And with a temp registered guest you may have no acess to the pool. All this you only will learn once you stay there. But then moving out will make you loose your deposit.
Hassle free acess of your play-mates, be it one or two, is the key to an Air BnB matching for our hobby.

Netflix, ye no can't help you there. The TV in my room was "smart" but there was no Netflix pre-installed. But this is hard to find outside of private condo rentals etc I think. I'd recommend bringing a Chromecast of sorts. Only problem is that you'd need it to be on the same WIFI as the device you want to cast from. I never tried, but technically it's possible I suppose. Maybe someone else can help out here.
What I can say about City Garden Grand though, they really do not care who you take up on the elevator with you haha. But yea the pool is on the small side. The rooftop bar is kinda nice though.

Posts: 12Hotel recommendations?
Hi all,
I'll be staying in Manila during Feb and was going to stay at the City Garden Grand hotel in Makati due to its proximity to P Burgos.
There are just a few things I dislike about the hotel and maybe someone can recommend an alternative.
Firstly I see the rooms have the weird bath / shower combo which I don't like. Are there any hotels in Makati with a walk in shower?
I also am unsure if I am able to get Netflix on any of the TVs (I know most hotel TVs aren't equipped for this). Hopefully there is a hotel somewhere with Smart capability.
I would also prefer a large outdoor pool. But this is not a necessity.
Thanks!

Looking on google maps, it looks like it may be "Brickstone Residences" that's next to LA Cafe.
As for your last remark, you're right. According to google, 3 of the Victoria's Court changed names to Hotel Ava: https://www.esquiremag.ph/money/indu...a2512-20220627.

The Hilton looks like very nice hotel for not too much more. I might have to give it a try. The only issue I have with the hotels are availability of reasonable taxi at 7 am to terminal 3. At Savoy I just walk out to street and hail one down and ask the price.

Savoy and Holiday has not ever asked for my guest (s) ids. I have my guest sit in the lobby while I register. Then we go up to the room with the porter. Never had a problem.
I have had to or 2 or 3 more girls come later and up the elevator we go. Convient to import girls from AC and send them home in the morning via Genesis Bus at T3. T3 has been my terminal for 90% of my flights.

Posts: 11Short Stay Hotels near Robinsons Place Manila?
Anyone have recommendations for short stay (3 hour) hotels near Robinsons Place Manila? I may be soon in the area for a function and can't use my hotel room to bring a girl back. Didn't see any Victoria Court hotels in the area. Sogo seems to be a 15+ minute walk. Any better options if I spend an afternoon at Robinsons and pick up a FL?
I did see a praises for Palm Hotel, but not sure if they'd give me looks or I'd have issues if I checked out 2-4 hours after I booked a room earlier that afternoon.

Posts: 72Booked it!
Thank you for the advice WC especially. I booked a condo across from NAIA Terminal 3 for two nights and got a good deal. I bumped my regular and am flying my 21 yo Mindanao cutie up for some pre-Christmas fun together. Of course my regular isn't happy but said she would be there if something happened. Either way, it's a win-win for me!
