3 years ago. That's when I tagged the whole family for a get away to the city. Well it's something different since we haven't stayed at Holiday Inn Galleria Manila (their first time at the hotel and my first stay WITH THEM). Slept like a log, swam like a wham and ate like an ape, what can I say?! It was all awesome!
This time of the year because of unforeseen event, I tagged them all along again but not at Holiday Inn, I wanted a hotel in Makati area, where a special event will take place. Luckily a friend whom is very into discounted voucher website, informed of ongoing promotion for the Isabelle Royale Hotel and Suites.
Isabelle Royale Hotel and Suites is located at Valdez Street, Barangay Poblacion, Makati, Metro Manila. Hotel is located near A. Venue Shopping Mall, and the lively-slash-wild night life in Makati area (not the kind of night life your looking for if you're way to conservative, get outta here?! not mine too, don't worry! It's way out of our league!). Let's leave the red district now, going back to Isabelle... The place is just three blocks away from my crib (better say CAVE,?! WYSIWG! Ahh huh! Indeed messy!) and just beside my favorite eatery (which I got an entry about their yummy cooking, click HERE! LOL) and about 20-30 minutes leisure walking from the office (take note! LEISURE! Puhleeaseethhh!). Too much on the location isn't?! Do google maps guys! :D
Moving on... Looking at the exterior of Isabelle Royale Hotel and Suites, I realized it's way different from the luxury accommodation of the IHG brands (eeeerrrr... love your own?! toinks!). I give all praises and thank you to the hotel's front desk whom I found very obliging when she allowed us to have an early check in and a room upgrade. Ooohh my dear I forgot your name, Is it Rose?! (Hahaaayy memory bank why are you malfunctioning?! Reformat?! Sino kaya ma-delete?! Charla!) or whoever you are, Kudos for a job well done!
A hotel staff assist us to our room which is just on the third level. I always prefer the rooms on the higher floor (better view I guess?!) however for this trip, naaah! why?! Elevator was way tooo slllooooww, and just looking at it makes me want to just.. uhhmmm go for the stairs!
From a executive studio room we were upgraded to an executive matrimonial room (honeymooners?! LOL). Our air-conditioned room have a double bed, private bath with cold and hot shower, cable television, a scary squeaky cabinet, and an empty kitchenette. Lem'me show you some pictures...
The bed as you can see is too small, I think it's more of a single bed than a double. I woke up the next day with my niece feet on my face while she was enjoying cable cartoons. I was disappointed with their kitchenette, i mean their EMPTY kitchenette. Just when I thought I can cook a surprise meal for my love ones. (Pancit Canton, or Instant noodles?! Surprise! Surprise! LOL) And some ordinary breakfast served which I didn't like. Good thing we bought instant noodles!
Our hotel room smells old as well, and dusty, dirty and .. and... well it's a budget hotel... and not bad if you just want a place to crash into for emergency purposes. One thing or I mean the only thing that I love with this property are the hotel staff that are friendly and accommodating .
But you know what?! It's not the place you were in that matters, it's who you are with. And for that ladies and gentlemen, everything was good because I enjoyed every seconds of it since I'm with my FAMILY.
