Still the go-to staycation place for me because of the buffet food, the facade and lobby that are reminiscent of the earlier Manila era.

Valet parking can be steep, but it's subsidized if you're a guest or dine-in customer. Redt of the parking is quite limited. You can expect a challengine time when there is an event or if the hotel is full.

The pool area lacks the ambiance and landscaping that one might expect (like in Sofitel). The rooms, despite being kept clean, and maintained with an older Filipiniana design, have outdated items. These things though are not deal breakers.

Brrakfast and dinner buffet spreads are delicious, mouthwatering, and provide a great variety. Promos also lighten the expense at times.
