During one of Em-J's visits here in Manila last year, we decided to check out the newly opened Holiday Inn and Suites in Makati.
Its location is one of its advantages as it is right next door to Glorietta.
Only the concierge is on the ground floor so you have to go up to the 4th floor where the lobby is for you to check in. Taking it all in, I couldn't help but be impressed at how beautiful everything is, the floor to ceiling windows, a nifty looking staircase, even the public toilets look nice.
Also located on the same floor is one of their in-house restaurants, Flavors. Our stay didn't come with breakfast so I wouldn't be able to write about that but we did have lunch there; it was forgettable.
We were happy with the deluxe room that we stayed in. The beds are comfortable and the sheets are divine. Wifi is strong and best of all, free.
There are plenty of sockets for your devices.
You also get a choice of your pillow type as with most IHG properties.
There were also two small things that I particularly loved about the room. I loved how the air conditioning control lights up green. What can I say? I'm easy to please.
I also loved the glass drawers of the wardrobe.
The toilet is simple and clean.
There's a pool at the rooftop and a gym but I forgot to take a photo of it as I was under the impression that it was still not open when we stayed there.
Overall, we were impressed with the property, the location and the staff.
