Pearl Manila Hotel, Manila

My overall stay at the Pearl Manila Hotel was fine. I was able to relax and read the paper undisturbed by the pool. The staff was excellent and will give you a professional greeting when you enter the main entrance and they have staff that rides the elevator with you to each floor. The cleaning staff was excellent. Each day I knew my room would be thoroughly cleaned and my toiletries were replenished each day. Even during the times I put up my "Do Not Disturb" sign, the staff politely waited until later during the afternoon to clean my room. The location of the hotel is close to smaller neighborhood stores and you can walk to Robinson's Mall which is one of the bigger malls in the area. Although the cabs are inexpensive, about 2 blocks away from the hotel, you can opt to take public transportation (trains and buses). There is also a 24 hour McDonalds 2 blocks away as well. Although my initial reservation was for 4 days, I ended up extended it another 3 days.

The staff here is nice and the hotel is very pleasant. If you get a bay view room, the window view is pretty awesome. The hotel is also convenient to the LRT (light rail) and since I use a lot of public transportation to avoid the taxis, it is good for me. You have to be brave and get out there and experience Manila. Nice buffet in the morning including omelets to order, ha.
