Not bad for a local hotel, but also not great for a casino hotel. Ive been to Nobu and Solaire, so my opinion is a little biased.... Midas seems less like a casino, and more like a hotel that just happens to have some games in it as an afterthought. The bed is very comfy, and the room spacious (executive room). There were spots with noticeable damage, wall scrapes, rust on ac vents, and peeling vinyl wrap on the shower window, and also the cabinets could use some new paint. They expect 3,000 php per day security deposit, which I find ludicrous, especially if your stay is more than a couple days. There is a laundry list of extra fees such as early check in, late check out, guest fees, smoking fees. There are guest visitation hours, and you are charged if guests stay past 10pm. There is no outside food or beverages allowed, so you may not bring food in or get delivery. The restaurant is pricey by Filipino standards, and some items by anyone's standards. The bar is also pricey, and small. A jack and coke cost me 400 php, ($8 usd). Its far less expensive to just take a taxi to SM Mall of Asia, eat and drink there, then return to the hotel, and that is mostly what I ended up doing. Altogether not bad.
