Amazing. That view!!!
Pros:

Everything but esp the location, design of the rooms and the view!

Cons:

Just getting charged $20ph for a late checkout bc ive stayed at sooo many places and never been charged for 1-2 hrs extra when i ask in advance…

And the music noise from the restaurant nxt door on a sat night that went up to 1am and was so loud nothing wld block it.

So i stay elsewhere on sat nights but this is my fav place in inner north for other nights!

Convenient and strange
Pros:

Was next door to the wedding venue we were going to

Cons:

Rooms are super random. Strange sterile kitchen connecting rooms. All the room utensils aren’t in the room. You have to go downstairs for ion & kitchen goods outside of rooms. Strange set up.
