My apologies

Update on Hotel :

 

I stayed at RedPlanet Manila Bay second time this week.  It was fully booked, I paid 2160 piso this time for same room, last time it was 1800 pisos.

 

They also have  free safe in the room as well.

 

I tried the RedPlanet Makita this week as well, It nice as well and has ceiling fan, but no icebox/raf.  They do have an excellent restobar on the bottom floor that is opened 24/7, and has the best Cheese Pizza I have had in Philippines.

Update on Night Life:

 

Cowboy Grill is one block from RedPlanet ManilaBay.  

 

They are opened until 6 am.   Happy hour is from 6pm until 9pm, and starts again at 3am until 6am.

 

Mocha Girls play every Wednesday at this location, it cost 100 piso entry fee if they are playing, otherwise it free entry.

 

Large club, fully air con and it a Texas Country Western theme and seating capacity is 500 plus.

 

When I return to Manila in a few weeks I will check out the KTV Bars.

Try Sunny Bay Suites. 

 

Hotel is a bit old, although they are renovating it, but the room had a fridge and stove.  Room was very spacious too.

Thanks. Try checking Gohotels.com.ph its very affordable, nice, clean and decent accommodation. It's walking distance from US embassy and St Lukes ext. as well. Goodluck too!

Lotus Garden is not recommended. YMMV but it's not up to our standards.

I agree. My fiancée stayed there last week for her medical and it wasn't good. She said there was a strange noise keeping her awake during the night and the free breakfast wasn't very good compared to hotels we have stayed at before.

Update:

 

I have rebooked for late October first few days in November at Red Planet Manila Bay again.  Paying 1434 for room with queen sized bed. 

 

I am thinking this is the best deal in town. Hotel is very modern and US standards.  Plenty of wall plugs all over the room and some even have USB ports in them.

 

I haven't made it to Davao City yet, but they have a Red Planet there and I plan on trying it as well.

Nahh... Marco Polo is cheap enough in Davao City that it would be silly to try elsewhere imo. 

 

Any other recommendations for hotels near SLEC and Embassy?

How were the experiences? 

 

also, isn't the SLEC and Embassy pretty close to one another?

They are near each other. 

 

 Hotel Soriente is 200 feet from slec.  Nothing fancy but clean,  what do you expect for $28.

 

Red planet is nearer to embassy than slec.  New hotel property.   Her stay is tomorrow night.

Since we are talking about Manila I would expect it to not be the best lol. $28 in Davao goes further that's for sure
