Hi Ed and Riza, have a safe trip... I have not seen this hotel but their website looks great haha and they seem to be a little cheaper, try to check this out www.kabayanhotel-pasay.com but I don't highly recommend though because I have not seen this in person...

Manila hotel is just 15 mins away from NAIA during late night, they have promo now, and you'll be very safe there www.manila-hotel.com.ph

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

I SUGGEST YOU TRY MABUHAY MANOR LOCATED IN PASAY. IT'S NEAR THE AIRPORT. THEY GOT FREE BREAKFAST, POOL AND SERVICE CARS AND IT'S REALLY WORTH THE PRICE. IT'S 2800 A NIGHT, CHECK OUT IS UP TO 2 PM.

http://www.mabuhaymanor.com.ph/

OH, MABUHAY MANOR IS AFFILIATED TO KABAYAN HOTEL THAT PINK WAS TALKING ABOUT. BOTH OWNED BY LEGEND HOTEL. HOWEVER KABAYAN IS LOCATED IN QUEZON CITY WHICH IS KINDA FAR TO AIRPORT. MABUHAY IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT SINCE IT IS IN PASAY, IT IS ALSO NEAR MALL OF ASIA AND MANY ESTABLISHMENTS AROUND EDSA BUT NOT CROWDED AS YOU WOULD THINK BECAUSE IT IS ALSO NEAR BACLARAN AREA. IT IS A SAFE PLACE STILL. MANY FOREIGNERS AND BALIKBAYANS CHECK IN THERE.

there is also kabayan hotel in pasay, near MRT taft, i haven't tried the place so I can't say if ok. yong paligid hindi ok but the accesibility of the place is good.

As for Mabuhay manor, I would also recommend the place, they have the nicest staff ever. I have been to many 5 star hotels in Manila, Cebu and Davao when I was still working for a multinational pharmaceutical company but I have yet to encounter hotel staff as accomodating to the Filipino guest as they do with foreign nationals. Mabuhay manor staffs are just awesome. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: .

Stayed there twice last year, the rooms are not really that impressive but it is large and ok.. malinis naman yong place though I saw a few cockroach here and there pero ok lang di ko naman ikinamatay. The surrounding area is not that nice (what can you expect sa Pasay) but whatever shortcomings the place may have, it is more than compensated by the FRIENDLIEST staffs on the planet (from the guard-to the waiter- to janitor and to everybody that works there) plus they also have great variety of food choices in the breakfst buffet, pinoy na pinoy yong food which I am sure you would greatly love. and also the music that they played during breakfast, mga pinoy folk songs and christian music which suited me. The place used to be a motel but since the owner became a born again christian, he converted the place and other places he inherited from his parents into wholesome family oriented hotels... there is even a nice prayer room at mabuhay.

Just book directly from their website, and also ask for the free airport pick-up... their airport drop off used to be free but they are charging now pero their airport drop off service fee is still way lower than what other hotels charge, last time I checked 250 pa rin ata.

When do you plan to come home? We might bump into each other if you'd stay there. Me and my kids will be staying at mabuhay manor september 2 and 3 for the CFO and then early flight to NC on sept. 4.

Well, you have a safe trip soon. God bless always.

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

dbears is correct about all the details she mentioned about Mabuhay Manor, I think cockroach is isolated case anyway, but I saw a cricket once in their bathroom. It is clean and disinfected enough and would pass 3 star hotel standard I think. There are 2 Queen size bed in most of the room, except if you chose Junior suite. What I like most about Mabuhay Manor is their Wi-fi access. I also like their Prayer Room.

Oh they also have free pick up and drop off from and to Mall of Asia everyday (as of this season) but with designated times (11 am, 3 pm and 8 pm if I am not mistaken).

yes riz, duol sya sa heritage. nice baya ang place and superb jud ang customer service, i think that is their biggest+. I've stayed in westin (sofitel na karon iyang name), manila pen, waterfront, marco polo etc. though courteous ang ilang mga staff pero lahi ra jud sila muatiman if foreigner compared sa kapwa pinoy unlike sa mabuhay, serbisyo galore jud sila kahit pinoy ang guest. sayang pud bitaw ang ibayad kung pila ra ka oras ang stay... just give mabuhay manor a try and let your husband experience pinoy hospitability at its best.

wala ko nila gibayaran ha, wala sad koy discount sa ila, i'm just one satisfied customer.
