Surprise!!!Blogger/Critic In the House

Its not often that I introduce myself as a blogger and a critic but frankly speaking sometimes it just has its perks specially in the food industry or even in the hospitality business, though sometimes its not all that bad many times I get to experience the worst among the worst, specially during the pandemic times. 

After leaving that hotel in Malate mom and I has decided to check out a  cheaper alternative, although the place is nothing like that of Makati Ave, in the heart of Quiapo, Maynila I found this Hotel theough a stranded Canadian man he told me its cheaper and the place in the inside is quite decen... the place is called Hotel 99, currently this jotel is promoting their executive and family rooms, as they are currently starting up new rooms through the extentions built. 

The Welcome
We got there not so early in the afternoon, there is hardly anyone on their reception desk  or area, the price is reasonable enough as it was given to us with mom's senior discount, we get a free vanity kit that comes with 2 toothbrushes with those tiny toothpastes, a shampoo, a tiny round soap, a comb, a shower cap, a pack of tissue. We get the tv remote and a recipt with the room number and the wifi password.  The only problem in this place was since its covid 19 times, they dont have suppliers or a commissary for the fòod, as there is just 1 menu during breakfast.First time  was there and since mom was on a wheelchair walker having a bad back ans knee they have to lift her and carry her going down a short flight of the stairs. And another thing the deinking wateer bottles is only free upon check in.

The Stay
It was a pleasant stay though its just for 2 days and since there isnt a commissary we have to buy food from the Halal karinderia outside the hotel. Still the food is good and the muslim people outside are very friendly.
