Manila Mabini Street Hotel
I arrived at about 6:00 am to the Stone House Hotel in Manila.
They had one room on the noisy street side for 1200 Pesos. However, they wanted another 200 to move in before noon. I understand maybe waiting until 9 or 10:00, however just too much for me. I asked,
- Are you serious, do really mean I have to wait until 12 to move in? A person cannot move in until after 12:00? -
1200 Peson is almost three times the price I paid on Khao San Road for same type of room or better.
I know this is just a Philippines Culture lie, just another little lie, that some days makes me want to slap them. I had the same culture lie happen on Philippines airlines one time. The attendant tried to serve me fish, said there was no chicken, I refused the meal, take it away I told here. And guess what, suddenly my chicken arrives. She was lying to avoid the work or walking back to the galley. In this Hotel instance! , she is just trying to extract money.

I stored my larger bag and went in search of a room, it is only about 7:00 AM, so not an issue of time or need, I can find a room.
I refuse to enable a hotel to abuse our friendships. I stayed in this Hotel three separate times and this is too much to endure today. I walked down to another hotel and was delighted to hear the management had change, and is now a happy hotel.
The girl from the Stone House is a nice women, she is just Philippines Lazy today, refuses to be bothered to do her job. A very common problem in the Philippines! .
If I went back to the same hotel again, the person can ch ange, the same women may want to do her job or listen. I just do not believe this hotel requires a person to arrive after 12:00 noon to move into an empty room. There was a room, it was vacant.
The value for the room is lousy.
