Big Difference in These Hotels
[QUOTE=Sun Devil]Does any one have an opinion regarding the Best Western Astor in Makati?
I stayed at the Peninsula the last time I was there. I like its location, and the lobby had a good 24/7 restaurant, but I am thinking of saving my money for the hobby and shopping at Rustan this time around. Expedia has a $60 per night rate.[/QUOTE]
The Astor is much cheaper (about $45 through asiatravel.com) than the Peninsula (over $100) but you get what you pay for. Some of the rooms at the Astor do not even have hot water. You will find cockroaches running around, etc.
The Peninsula is a first class 5 star hotel. You should contact Cebu Local who I believe is a Travel Agent and knows this area very well.
