Recently my next door neighbor are doing some remodelling in their home and because of this my sleep is disrupted. I'm thinking of staying in a motel but before that I want to ask a few questions

    1.) Are they safe particularly the flower group in Pasig since they're the place who have the most reasonable price and very accessible to my office? Hopefully, my neigbor's construction works will be done after this week.

    2.) I prefer dark rooms, do they (or do most motels have dark rooms?) have black-out curtains (the curtains that you usually find in hotels to make the room really dark if you want to)?

    3.) Are their airconditioning units really that good?

    4.) Can you hear noise (e.g. traffic outside, and lovers making out from the other rooms) inside your room?

    5.) Do most of them have hot shower?
    1. they are pretty safe.

    2. they are dark inside once you turn off the lights. Windows are generally small and often painted to prevent light getting in.

    3. generally yes. But in some units, the A/C might have dirty fins which results in it icing over. Once that happens, no air coming from the A/C.

    4. As for the flower group motels in pasig, you will not hear the traffic outside. The worst would either be the car next door starting (fart muffler) or the alarm getting triggered.

    5. yes, they all have hot water showers.

    Other stuff:
    -you can order food from the menu at any time of the day and night.
    -cable tv have ****
    -pillows tend to be rather small and hard. If you are particular about your pillow, you might want to bring your own.
    -some of the motels have free internet wifi service. (just check who has)
    -using the motel discount card does save you a lot of money

    Pwede ka mag credit card. The motel's name won't even appear in you statement but some other company.

    disclaimer: I worked in retail banking for a short period.

    Yeah! ha ha ha!!!

    BTW May discrimination din sila if you go in a group. My friend tried it hindi sila pinapasok. They wanted to watch **** lang naman. Nung 90s kasi di pa ganun ka accessible ang ****. :rofl:

    *froshie1, yes pansit canton. Isang buo pa nga manok if you order the bilao. Take pictures of the room naman and show it to us Pwede ba yun? O bawal camera sa motel?

    two small soaps and two towels are usually provided. Beyond that, you have to bring your own.

    That means toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.

    BTW, motel rooms do not have clocks so best to set your mobile phone's alarm so you know what time you need to wake up, etc.

    You can bring in "outside" food to the motel. Generally be discrete about this. Leave the stuff in your car first until the attendant leaves then go back for your groceries.

    Typical rooms have a mini-fridge so you can keep your drinks, etc cold.

    If you need utensils, you can ask from the room service or bring disposable utensils.

    yep. kelangan 2 lang kayo. ayaw nila yung marami.
    & also, yung victoria group, wala na **** yung motels nila. nasubukan ko yan nung last vacation ko.
    ewan ko, pero sabi nila yung bagong owner ata, parang born again christian ba?

    pero, yung mga nasa loob "****ographic" ang ginagawa.......

    I find it funny that they don't allow groups at the assumption that an orgy will take place. It's not like a motel is a place to do goodie goodie things in the first place

    Motel without ****? That's like a moviehouse without popcorn. hehehe. Hindi na ba mga King ang owners? Kasi alam ko born again din sila.

    Are you sure you still want to push through with your plans? Parang di ko ata ma take yung hard and smelly pillows.

    Meron palang sistema na people rent out their condo units, pwedeng daily rate. That could be another option for you. Sa Citiland condos malamang mura lang.

    sabi naman ni boss gh eh hard and small. I think sa kasabugan ko ngayon eh makakatulog ako provided malamig at madilim. The thing with condos renting on a daily basis eh magsesetup pa ako which will take hours depending on the sizes and number of the windows inside the condo unit. While sa motel eh iyon nga madilim once you switch off the lights.

    Setup = I have to cut and paste double folds of dark cartolinas to make the room dark.

    Oh peeps speaking of lights hahahaha pasensya na ang dami kong tanong. Ang mga lights ba doon ay warm white (yellow) or daylight (white) lights? :D

    You're funny *froshie1.

    I read hard and smelly. HA HA HA.

    I am assuming they have both white and yellow light since normal option naman yun for rooms diba?

    Yung towel parang nakakatakot gamitin yun. Kahit sa nice hotels I bring my own towel.

    Pictures please Meron din kaya nung parang dental chair na sinasabi nila. Scandalous! :rofl:

    Some have white daylight with blue accent lighting. But interior lighting really depends on the room's theme.

    Generally the make-up table has two lights on either side of the mirror. Usually the bulbs used would be incandecent (yellow), so you can used these if you want "ambiance" lighting.

    There are light switches located at the bedside.

    They accept credits cards. No issues about it.

    Ok, I just called up Orchids and they said that they don't allow check-ins na magisa lang which I find it weird.. Inescalate ko sa supervisor/manager nila and nagpaliwanag sila kasi some people na nag checheck in eh nagsusuicide daw. Like wtf natakot tuloy ako.. Anyway, to cut things short eh nakapagclose din ako ng deal sa kanila. Sa dami ba naman pa ng mga bakanteng lote sa amin eh most likely eh mag checheck in ako lagi doon sa Orchids. LOLOL.

    Kakalaman ko lang na ang check-in rates nila ay ito.

    Pag taxi room

    380 5 hours
    140 per hour.

    Pwede rin 5 hours 5 hours din ang singil.

    Pag garage room

    525 / 5 hours
    180 / hr.


    Sa akin ok na itong rates na ito kaysa sa mag hotel ako :D

    ha ha ha!!! It's short of saying that their motels are made just for ***

    I suggest you keep your white lights on baka kasi may katabi ka ng malamig diyan. Yun mga nag suicide dati. Kidding. Another use for a motel room aside from *** is for drug session purposes.

    Anyway, I strongly suggest that you order the Pansit canton at orchids. Don't forget to tell us about your first motel experience ha!

    *froshie1, wala ba sila theme rooms? Napanood ko kasi sa TV before. Cute naman.

    nyaaah. *cathy natakot tuloy ako nyan LOLOL.. Actually more on the drug session. baka iyong mga nagdadrugs sa ibang room eh mawalan ng isip at magwala na lang. iyong theme rooms naman mukhang exclusive lang siya sa victoria court..

    re: pictures I'll try. bulok ang camera phone ko eh gasgas pa ang lens niya.

    good question.
