It was my 3rd trip to Manila and I have previously stayed in Renaissance and Shangrila Hotel in the same area. I was on a business trip and our meeting organizer made the booking for me. I had a horrible experience when staying in this hotel that I'm sure I won't come back:
- I requested for a non-smoking room but they gave me a smoking room, when I called they said " we'll spray your room in a minute, the smell will go away"?!
- I found blood spots underneath the bed sheet which's extremely disgusting!
- The room is small and old, and extremely noisy as it's facing a road with heavy traffic. I told the receptionist it's noisy and he said " it'll be quiet tonight" ?!!
- Old grey torn towels, dirty bedsheets, no slippers, no dental kit, no shower gel, body lotion with bad smell... I travel within Asia often and rarely come across a hotel like this .
- Really bad food, I only spent 10 mins every morning for a quick breakfast; I spent at least 45 mins every morning when I was staying in the Shangrila.
- Location-wise Renaissance and Shangrila are closer to the Greenbelt than this hotel.
