February 28 - March 01, 2015
It's our 6th Anniversary and after my son's Field Demo at school and celebrating with a simple dinner at Kuya J's Restaurant at SM Novaliches, we decided to find a place where we can stay for a night and just rest ourselves like we used to do always, it's another Staycation in the city.
Before leaving the house we're already searching the net for some deals where we could celebrate our anniversary. We were supposed to visit a hotel in Manila but my husband does not want to go any further since he has come tired from work already, so we decided to find a place located in Quezon City or Novaliches instead.
We saw a deal in Metrodeal for MCHotel which is located near our place, on the picture it seems the hotel is good and clean. I've called the reception of MCHotel to inquire and she seemed very accommodating as she answers all my queries accordingly. She even offered us a discount so we could get the room we saw at Metrodeal at a much lower price without having to go to the bank to deposit for the payment and we could also avail the same room we saw online, the one with Jacuzzi-style bathtub, which my son enjoyed so much.

From home, before we eat we decided to drop by at the hotel so we could leave our things first before we eat, and actually we've decided that we can eat at the hotel instead like we used to do so we don't need to leave the premises since we're already there. We've arrived in front of the hotel at around quarter to 7pm on the night of February 28, our first thought was, "OMG, we might have been lost..it seems we were not supposed to be here. This might not be the right place." The first impression was, this is not the hotel we were looking for, since we were with our son, outside they have posters for a short time stay, you may know what I mean.
They have let us in on their underground parking lot, very suitable for those who are hiding something, haha silly me. They're still renovating the parking lot and it looks so messy when we came in.
Arriving at the front desk I've told the receptionist that I'm the one who has to ask for reservation over the phone, since they have offered as 1,200 for a night (12 hours) for the suite room I think, the room which has Jacuzzi bathtub. Since we arrived too early for a 10 pm check-in time that we have agreed over the phone we haggled if we could just check in early since we'll be eating also so we don't need to go any further. But they don't allow us unless we pay another 600 for the time extension. Oh My, we were able to get the room for 1200 but they want us to pay 600 for 3-hour extension even if we told them that we'll be eating on their resto. Too bad for first-time visitors like us.
And so we don't have a choice, I just told my husband that we better eat outside than eat there and we still need to pay 600 pesos more. So we leave the place and go to SM Novaliches to eat dinner at Kuya J's Restaurant.
Around 10 pm, we came back to finally check-in. They gave us the key to our room, but no one assisted us upstairs, they just tell us the room number and that's it. Upon entering the room, the first thing you'll notice is the smell once you open the door, it seems like it hasn't been open for a while. A smell of a house when you came back from a long vacation. Good thing their air-condition is good and really cools up your mood, Bad thing their bed sheet is too sleazy. My son and husband enjoyed it, but for someone like me who cannot stand cold atmosphere, it's suffering. I hardly sleep over the night.
Suite room, not quite sure.
the Suite room has 2 queen-size beds. An open cabinet where you can hang your clothes.
They have a 17" T.V. where we can hardly see the movie we're watching while lying in bed, it's not compatible with how far and how big their television is. And they have 1 table and 2 chairs for dining.
For the bathroom, they really have a Jacuzzi, but compared to the picture on their website, the Jacuzzi doesn't look clean. Actually, if you come near the holes of this tub, you will see some brownish particles on it. It seems the tub hasn't been used for a while. And what's worst is that it mixed with the water when we open it, and literally the water became brown. And there is something swimming on the tub. OMG! My son didn't enjoy the experience well, because that's what he came here for, but we have no choice but to not allow him to dip in too long even if we're able to clean it when we saw the brownish water.
We just let our son enjoy the shower instead, we just hope nothing enters my son's body when he showered.
In the morning we've visited there swimming pool area, well that's one thing we would like to experience here when we decided to check in. I like their pool though since it's included in our overnight stay we decided to dip in. We just hope that the water isn't like the water in their tub.
The pool's design is good since the pool is a bit hidden in sunlight you will enjoy dipping into it. The pool is clean though. And I like their chairs also.
So all in all, our Staycation here is not very satisfying, good thing the swimming pool complement our stay, so at least they're able to make it up for the tub.
I'd also like to mention that they have complete bathroom complimentary bathroom essentials. That's why we were able to go directly to my nephew's birthday party after we checked out from here. That's already an A+. We just hope that they make sure that their water supply is clean and that their tubs are very well cleaned too so that people will come back too.
Coming back? Not sure really, unless they're able to update their service and clean their tubs.
