GGuest UserI stayed here for a couple of hours before an early morning flight. I figured it wouldn't hurt to stay at a cheap hotel since I was checking out at 2am. However, instantly regretted it since hotel cleanliness was a bit iffy. But with the really cheap rate (less than 2k), I guess you get what you pay for and if you just want basic accommodation, this might be perfect for you. I arrived at the hotel at about lunch time, but they said that if I wanted to check in early (2pm is normal check in time), then I would need to pay extra, the extra they wanted me to pay was almost the same rate as their daily rate (basically just 100 pesos cheaper). It was kind of insulting as it was only 2 hours earlier and most hotels don't charge extra for a 2 hour early check in or at most, a top up of half a day's rate. So it felt really unreasonable that they were asking almost the same day's rate. Anyway, they let me leave my luggage at the hotel while I roamed around until check in. They also ask for a cash deposit of 2000 which can't be done via card, so heads up to the people who don't have local currency or cash. My room had an odd smell, like someone has been smoking in it even though smoking wasn't allowed in the room. I had to open the windows to air it out. There was also hair and flies in the bathroom. The flies would land on to the towels which made me doubt the cleanliness of the facility. I was honestly very paranoid staying here. I don't know if I would stay here again, possibly if I am desperate and short on cash, but likely not again during the pandemic as I am quite unsure of how much they clean the rooms exactly. However, this is probably much better than the cheap motels as there was no sleazy atmosphere and most of the people I saw who checked in were travelers like me who are probably heading into the airport as well. The location is pretty near BGC, about 5 minutes without traffic to SM Aura and 30 minutes to the T1 NAIA. It seemed pretty safe, there was a 7-eleven beside the hotel as well.
