Review of VELOCITY AT MARRIOTT MANILA

I've had wonderful experiences at the Manila Marri...

I've had wonderful experiences at the Manila Marriott Hotel. The rooms are elegantly appointed and the furnishings are modern while the flooring and walls are comprised of wood and marble. The bathrooms are spacious with all needed amenities. The service has been great and attentive. It's proximity to NAIA, especially terminal 3 makes it a great location for transit or to skip a lot of the terrible Manila traffic. Adjoined by resorts worlds casino and mall, as well as a golf course, there is plenty to do. The breakfast Buffett is also very well done with local, Western and other fare with many options both hot and cold.

There are three hotels in the Resorts World area, with Marriott being the higher end one.

If you do want to adventure out, Grab is a great way of getting a taxi or have the hotel get one for you as they will record the details. Make sure they use the meter if it's a regular taxi. We got a taxi for Intramuros and the museum's and the driver stated there is a common charge of 400 php for that site. We told them to use the meter and it was a 150 php fare.
