Red Planet Manila Binondo
We had a pleasant stay at this property. The hotel rooms are your basic ones and the hotel felt a bit dated, but we don’t mind that. The staff were pleasant and there was a cafe in the lobby but we didn’t get to try it. The location was great for exploring Intramuros and Binondo, so it did the job ...

Westside Bay is a nice place to stay but it's not facing ocean. The views are boring from most rooms
