Hi folks,

Wife is headed to the US a week from today and she's gonna need to stay in Manila for 2 nights on her way here. I've been looking around for a decent, mid-priced hotel in Manila that takes online reservations, but there are a lot in that range and many are not too good. I tried to reserve a room at the Pearl Lane hotel, where we've stayed before, but they never responded to my online reservation form or an e-mail I sent...and I won't give business to any operation that treats potential customers that way.

So, I'm looking for a $40 to $50 a night hotel, maybe close to a mall in a relatively safe part of town, that you guys can recommend. Bonus points if it's closer to a CFO (wife needs to grab the stamp on the way out) or the Airport.

I appreciate it!

I have stayed at Prince Plaza II in Makati, it is OK & close to malls and embassy.

Most recently I have used Park, Bed & Breakfast, about 15 - 20 minutes from the airport but they will pick you up at the airport included in your rate.

Also check asiahotels.com online.

Prices from mid $30s to $50+

You can check them both out on the web.

Yep, my wife stayed there during her medical...it was a nice place, but they overcharged her by about 1000 php, so she refuses to stay there again.

That would get my vote too. I stayed there with my soon to be wife and made the reservations online then confirmed over the phone. We only stayed one night but it was pretty nice, clean and has a KFC attached. It's literally a rocks throw away from the international arrival ramp.
