Can anyone recommend a good & reasonable hotel near the U.S. Embassy? My fiancée and her daughter has her interview next week. She will travel to Manila few days before for her medical exam at St, Lukes, so she needs a room for a few days.

Hmm, sounds a bit like an ad :)

Lotus Garden gets a lot of decent reviews. I stayed a while at Best Western La Corona and loved it. Anywhere in Malate is going to be loud. La Corona was too, but rooms were clean, decent food in the restaurant and nice people working there.

I wouldn't stay near the US embassy, that is where the worst of the flooding is happening right now! That area is near the ocean, so I'd never send my fiance even close to there in this season....not to mention there's a tropical storm coming next week.

I have a question about timing. I need to send my fiance for her medical and CFO. We want to do both on the same trip.

How many days before the interview does she need to do her medical? I heard at least one week, so i looks like she will need to make two trips or have an extended stay in Manila.

How have you accomplished this?

CorporateIinn across street from The Waterfront manila hotel casino. Walking distance around block from saint Lukes, good restuarants on corner, laundry. Friendly, nice rooms and breakfast, inexpensive. I do not recommend The waterfront in Manila but they are excellent in Davao
