"In the first place be very careful with the booking, there are more than one 'city Garden hotels'. I thought I was getting one near the airport and ended up clear over by the American embassy in deepest downtown Manila. What I thought I was saving in room cost I'm more than spent in Taxi fees coming and going to the hotel.
The hotel is located within an old and dated building with only one small elevator serving nine floors. The check-in process was friendly and helpful but the staff is not overly communicative in English.
The facility does have a bar although it's just a wide spot in the lobby opening out overlooking the street, no quiet place and nothing but barstools to sit on. The restaurant was kind of like a Denny's inside, but the food was good and plentiful and breakfast buffet was excellent, while leaning heavily on Filipino style food.
Clearly this is a local facility there were few visitors (I think only four of Anglos in the place). There was a huge wedding going on, which kept the elevator completely jammed for an hour, which was inconvenient, but a great look at Filipino culture. it was not bad but not what I expected."
