Going in I knew how popular View Park Hotel was in the local area because of the reviews I read on Agoda, where I found the hotel. Still, I was so surprised about how nice and pleasant the staff was all throughout my booking journey.
Here's the thing, I paid for our overnight stay, we were only two, back in January through Agoda, but then the Taal explosion and the pandemic happened so it got pushed back and rescheduled in the first week of November. The coolest thing about it: it was the staff who tracked us, and perhaps their other clients, through SMS and calls, informing us when they will be open again. I don't think you can say that about other three-star hotels out there.
We booked for a Standard Room but it still had two beds and the room was quite larger than I expected. The bathroom had a heater, blower and several clean towels. They also offered free, "COVID kits" placed sa may side table.
Also, I appreciated that the Siglo restaurant is directly attached to the reception area, giving us easy access whenever we wanted a small meal. Their menu is filled with local recipes, but their meals were presented in quite nice platings. Plus, the serving was generous! Kahit yung clubhouse sandwich lang hindi namin ni-expect na ganon ka-filling and may ranch dressing pa for the banana and kamote chips. Anyways, this trip was so sulit! Will totally recommend it to Metro Manila tourists na gusto lang mag-unwind but not spend too much for one relaxing day.
