For my birthday, my family treated me to a staycation at the Holiday Inn in Makati.
My boys figured, mama could go birthday shopping, while they stay and relax (and yes, maybe play their video games) at the hotel.
Mama shops while the boys play (in mama's terms: no whining kiddos)...
It was such perfect timing too, as Glorietta Malls was running a weekend sale.
My loot! Yahoo!
Holiday Inn in Makati is the newest of the Holiday Inn hotels in the country. The hotel just opened in 2013.
True to the Holiday Inn branding, Holiday Inn Makati distinguished itself as a family hotel ~ with it's children friendly activities and promotions. Their "Kids Stay and Eat Programme" is a real come on.
We stayed in a twin deluxe room, which was stylish and spacious at 32sqm. It comes equipped with all the basic conveniences.
Comfortable beds...
A 32inches cable tv (which kept my boys occupied the entire time, while mama went out to do her birthday thingy)...
A loaded mini bar ~ (my boy had his eyes on this Holiday Inn promotional teddy bear).
An iron and board, robes and sleepers...
Separate shower and toilet (with bidet, yehey)...
Toiletries were also of good quality.
We paid extra for our breakfast though, since we got a room-only package.
We had breakfast at "Flavors" their in-house restaurant. Breakfast was good, but with find their spread quite limited.
Dessert on the other hand was great.
VERDICT
- Holiday Inn Makati is a great choice if you are up for some shopping. The hotel's direct access to the Glorietta Mall was so convenient.
- Being located the Makati Central Business District (MCBD), it is also a smart choice for business travelers.
- Customer Service is unquestionable. An A+ from the doorman, receptionist, room attendants, concierge and staff at Flavors.

DeleteI've only experienced staying at a Holiday Inn hotel in the US. It was a good experience for us. Would be nice to stay in this branch in Makati though. It's not so far from us!
ReplyDeleteI do that is cool Janice. I have never been to the US. I am sure all Holiday Inn brand hotels stay true to their customer first attitude.
DeleteI find this hotel very cozy, we eat at their buffet resto every once in a while.

DeleteThis hotel looks so nice, last year when my husband going on board he experienced staying in U.S Holiday Inn, and he said that it really nice and they are very accommodating.
ReplyDeleteHi Melisa, true Holiday Inn in Makati is now one of our choice hotels in Makati. I love that it is affordable, new and located next to Glorietta.
DeleteWe were back at Holiday Inn for Christmas and were so blessed to get a room upgrade to an Executive Room. Executive Rooms are located from the 19th floor up and has direct access to the Executive Lounge. Rooms have bath tub and better window view.
ReplyDeleteHavent tried Holiday Inn yet but it seems to have the same feature as our favorite hotel in Makati. The hotel's direct access to the Glorietta Mall is indeed very inviting.
ReplyDeleteThat looks an awesome place. I'm pretty sure me and my family are going to love it. Try to check out Makati staycation, you'll love it too. Anyway, Thanks for sharing!
