Given the age difference of when the Radisson Blu and Bayfront was built you would figured Bayfront would be in pristine condition. Sadly, that is not the case. Looks like ownership decided to cut costs across the board and it clearly shows. Furniture is old, lights are dimmed through out the room; if wanted to read, don't bother, you will strain your eyes. It's actually a good thing the place is so dim, because it was filthy throughout. Example, looking under the bathroom sink you can see grime. Disgusting. Refrigerator temperature is a joke, barely cooler than the room itself. Hot shower, forget about it, not happening. Beds are typical budget Filipino style: extra firm, so hotel doesn't need to replace mattress's often. Pictures of gym are deceiving, nothing works and no free weights exist. Only pluses, morning buffet is generous. Staff and manager are friendly and really try to accommodate with what they are given. I especially want to thank Tesie for allowing us to shorten our stay without occuring a penalty. It was so bad we had to transfer to a competing hotel. Owners need to do better, and think about not just the bottom line: cutting costs can only get you so far. After that guests will figure out this is not a 3 star hotel, but just another overpriced budget hotel that is in disarray and in need of serious renovations.
