Staying at The Manila Hotel was a fascinating blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. The hotel boasts a beautiful lobby with live music each night, and the spacious room had a lovely water view. However, the check-out process was a bit cumbersome, and my special request for a high-floor room wasn't honored, which dampened the experience a bit.
