Grand Westside Manila Bay
Hotel amenities are good; staff are all hospitable. We enjoyed their breakfast buffet except the bulk of people this hotel have, it was crowded. The location is not too far of a drive to the Mall of Asia but not walkable to any other areas like convenience stores or fastfood.
