Ramada by Wyndham Manila Central
Room was updated, spacious and clean, shower pressure was strong, checking out was a bit painful - if you are in a rush or have a tour check out at least 20mins before as the wait long, location was excellent, felt safe at night, staff are amazing

Grand Westside Manila Bay
I have pretty high standards of Hotels. Grand Westside Manila Bay did not disappoint. A beautiful Hotel that appears to be built in 2024. I wish it was warmer do I could have enjoyed the pool. Great breakfast buffet. Definitely better to book breakfast with your stay. I believe it was $22 per room ...
