The Manor is the perfect accommodation for our return to Baguio after almost 3 years. It is our first time as we never had the luck in the past in booking as it was always fully booked. For this stay, we booked way in advance to be sure. I like that I got a call few days before our stay to confirm, ask for preferences and remind to register in Visita Baguio. I chose Forest Room with balcony because we want to spend time in appreciating the pine trees and it was a good choice. I requested for higher floor but we got a second floor room, rm 204 which is near the middle/front. It was not bad after all! For some, they may not like it as it near the 2nd flr common lobby area and just outside our door, overlooks the piano bar below but we love it because we can hear the performance even in our room. We have a toddler that we need to put to sleep first before lounging so it was great that it’s like we’re in the piano bar even if we’re still in our room. Since I added an extra person, they immediately asked if we want an extra bed during check in and it was setup immediately. We were also allowed to check in early as the room is already available, it was a few minutes before 3pm anyway. We requested for more towels, toiletries and it was provided immediately as well. We also requested for water and was provided when they cleaned the room.
It is nice that they have free wifi but during our stay, my daughter lagged several times as she was attending an online class. My recommendation is to have a password protected wifi for the exclusive use of booked guests.
We tried to have dinner buffet on a Saturday night, unfortunately, it was fully booked already and we’re #22 in waiting list that we decided to eat out even if it’s raining. Breakfast buffet is still superb! Tried it before even if we’re not billeted there.
Checkout was a breeze as they have checkout counter on each level, so great that there is no need to line up at the ground floor for central checkout.
Overall, we loved our stay at The Manor, a charming Baguio accommodation.
