The Ups and Downs of Staying at the Manila Pavilion Hotel

July 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Manila - If you’re looking for an affordable hotel that’s near a lot of shopping centers, try the Manila Pavilion Hotel.

Check out the article “Fooled by Appearances at the Manila Pavilion” to find out why this fancy-looking hotel isn’t the best place to stay in unless you’re on a budget. The article reads:

Manila Pavilion Hotel and Casino is a popular hotel choice for business travelers and tourists looking primarily for location and affordability. The building was built and run by the Hilton Hotel line in the 1980′s, and ownership is now in the hands of Waterfront Hotels, a reputable hotel line with locations through the Philippines. Apart from an elegant renovation to the hotel lobby, not much has changed in the past 30 years.

The casino at Manila Pavilion Hotel is still small, yet suitable. The hotel is still just a short walk from excellent shopping and dining options on Robinson Mall and Roxas Boulevard. The rooms are still spacious and affordable. But, what is that smell…?

Though the hotel claims to be undergoing ongoing renovation, no rooms in the building appear to be renovated. Rooms are hit or miss, but none deserve a “four-star” rating. In the worst rooms the carpeting is musty, fading, and dirty. Hotel walls are yellowed with cigarette smoke or who knows what, and bathrooms are missing towels or molding. Several recent guests have complained of being bit by bed bugs.
