One sunny day, and
we're going to stay for two days and a night at Holiday Inn & Suites Makati
to have a simple merriment for our wedding anniversary.
We took a cab from
Sampaloc and cost us 180 php to go to Makati. We arrived at the hotel around
1:30pm and saw a big green bear outside the hotel.
We received a warm
welcome from the staff of the hotel at the ground floor. Then, we were ushered
to go to the lobby area for us to check-in. At the reception area, we were
invited to have an IHG reward card and able to check-in at 9th floor, that is,
with a room of twin beds. I ask the helpdesk if they can assist us to transfer
to a king size bed, but they weren't able to provide in the same floor because
it is available in a different floor which is a smoking area. We decided not to
transfer and choose the non-smoking area.
We're hungry and
able to go out the hotel to buy some
food, wherein this hotel is located beside Glorietta 2 mall. Luckily we were
able to roam around the mall and buy some snacks for the three of us. Due to my
situation as an expectant mom, we didn't walk much at the mall and ended to
find a mini play and ride for children near the hotel mall entrance. That
night, we also conveniently shop at Landmark for our needs and bought our
dinner at the food court.
We were able to
sleep at a cozy night in the hotel room. They have unique pillows that are in
two kinds, one is firm and one is soft. Their bathroom is nice, although they
don't have bath tub.
The next day, we ate
at their restaurant located at the lobby level. The food were delicious, and
what I like most in their main dishes from the breakfast buffet is the Beef Picadillo. We ate what is
sufficient for us. Mostly, pancake and cereals for our son. After eating, we
visited the swimming pool at the rooftop and our son enjoyed it.
