Kingsford Hotel Manila Bay
It was better than what we expected. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping are proactive in responding to our requests. Pool, bars, and gym were good, too. The restrooms by the gym were surprisingly appealing. They can improve on adding more selections for meals available in their café.
