Manila Hotels

[JJ27]

Well, we were going to stay at the InterContinental but I found out
the rooms are around $200 per night, and that is a bit pricey for me.

Stephen recommended the Executive Plaza and Hotel Friendy, but does
anyone know of a good hotel in the Makati area that isn't too pricey,
say around $40 - $80 per night with A/C and no small creatures.
Has anybody stayed at the Sunette Tower? They offer suites at a
very good price, but its hard to gauge the quality vs. the price,
when I've never been there before. Also, how far is Makati from the
Malate area? Thanks to all for their advice and help with this.

You may want to check Asia travel at asiatravel.com for rates in Manila, the prices run in the 80 dollar range. I hope this helps.

Makati City is the Place. Lived there for a month..whatever comfort U may need is there in Makati City...I think the name should be changed to Tourist Town. While Manila area is a stinking dirty place to live, Makati is much cleaner. I would avoid Manila Area on my next trip and explore the beauty of the Philippines. Hanging around Manila can give Newbies negative feelings about RP.

Sunnette tower is very reasonable, stay in the one bedroom suites, the 06 suites, ie ....706 1106, etc etc,

Huge suite, 38 bucks a nite, 2 ac one in the living room kitchen area, one in the separate bedroom, They have kitchen dining room , the maids clean all ur dirty dishes too. i have stayed there for hmmm 4 months this year i think i know it well. The bedroom also has a separate dressing room, walk in closet sized, actually bigger than that.. There are nicer hotels in makati but not for that price.

Makati is about 25 mins by cab from the Malate Area if you look on this map you will see Makati, then Malate is part of the city thats labeled Manila, but its right on the left near Manila bay, Malate is.

Or look on this map, and look to the left near manila bay, and look right near PASAY, above it, in tiny letters you will see Malate......thats where it is..above Malate you will see Ermita, They are all right together, Malate, Ermita , Mabini, big tourist district near the Bay, Try taking a cab there and walking near Roxas blvd by the bay, lots of restaurants there too.
