My third time to stay in this hotel. Still, my reason or staying is LOCATION.. It is centrally located in the heart of Cubao, Araneta Center. This time though, I can see signs of aging and looks like the maintenance is not doing a good job. I believe the hotel can be kept clean even if its getting older, it's just a matter of paying attention to small details like stains on the carpet or scratches on the walls. Amenities are now downsized to basics. They only provide you with shampoo/conditioner, body wash and lotion. No more facial and body soap. The beds are still comfortable. Hot shower works well. Wi-fi signal is good. They have safe, small fridge with two comp bottled water inside, they provide you with bathrobes and slippers. TV has more channels available. They provide you with a newspaper every morning. Some of the staff needs to be trained how to smile and be welcoming. Parking is accessible and easy to get in and out. Buffet breakfast has many choices but there are a lot of restaurants in the area where you can pay for a cheaper price. I did not get any extra perks as a Platinum Expedia member. The hotel rate is a little pricey but if you want location and convenience, then this hotel is ideal. I MAY stay here again.
