Our hotel experience

We arrived at Torre Venezia Suites around 8 p.m. because the taxi driver had difficult time locating the place. We could have reached the place in about 30 minutes but took us nearly an hour all because we were not able to provide the exact address. Poor taxi driver.

We were greeted by the pleasant receptionist at the hotel lobby. After a few minutes of signing a registration form, we went up to our respective rooms. The kids’ room is more spacious than ours. They had a working shower head (unlike in our room which we don’t bother to report since its just a brief stay).

The beds and cover were fine except that the room has a peculiar scent. It’s like no one has been billeted in our room for quite a while. But it’s okay. We had a cable tv (so happy that I was able to catch a rerun of my fave show) and wifi. And we had a good night’s sleep. That’s not bad at all.

Happy birthday, N!

Happy birthday, N!

We had a complimentary sumptuous breakfast at about 9 am the next day. The hotel restaurant is located on the 8th floor. Right after breakfast, the birthday cake was served. Those who were also dining at the time sang Happy Birthday to my daughter. She was surprised (though she looks serious here) and I hope that she’s happy with our birthday treat.

We returned to our room after breakfast and checked out an hour later. We missed the free use of swimming pool and gym because the people with me were not keen in any of those. So KJ.

I’m happy with the experience except for the tiny problem with the non-functioning shower head. 🙁 I would recommend the place and we hope to be able to visit it again.

Overnight stay at Torre Venezia Suites

So it happened on the night of N’s birthday. We were able to avail the hotel accommodation at Torre Venezia Suites. While I appreciate the few hours away from the boring routine schedule at home, N felt otherwise. She wasn’t as excited and would just spend the night at home and would just strum Epiphone guitars if she had a choice. But all four we went to the three-star hotel located at the corner of Mother Ignacia and Timog Avenue. I had a few photos to share in my next post.

Hotel reservation

HOTEL GC

We were finally able to make our first (and hopefully not the last) hotel reservation for the next weekend in time for my daughter’s 18th birthday. We will be staying for a night at the Torre Venezia Suites with free breakfast for two. A suite can accommodate four persons but we have to request for an additional bed which would costs us P1,300 per bed. Since we don’t have fund for it, we decided to reserve another suite. So, this saves us an additional expenses and all four of us will have free breakfast. The hotel reservation also allows us to use the swimming pool and gym. The kids are excited!
