Is this place still possibly open for business? The place was totally infested with stray cats (possibly in the hundreds- classic interbreeding of strays). The cat stench was beyond any possible human comprehension; in fact, the staff discouraged me from staying there about five years ago due to cat stench ( the longtime gate guard recognized me and gave me advice to stay someplace else).   Thomas Franceschiello New member Username: Frenchy147 Post Number: 1 Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 173.86.115.138 Posted on Saturday, May 15, 2010 - 01:11 am:    I have stayed at Hotel Hana numerous times, it is within walking distance of anything you want to do and the rooms are fairly nice and clean and affordable. The restaurant is very nice and the pool is excellent. The rooms have full time AC and the showers are excellent - awesome water pressure and central water heater - no electric showerhead to electracute yourself!!!   Bob Dart Senior Member Username: Bobdart Post Number: 1251 Registered: 06-2005 Posted From: 208.180.196.222 Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 - 02:34 am:    I have to agree with Dale that the VFW can really be helpful to the SPAT and are more than willing to give assistance.   Donald Melendy Member Username: Cav1sgt Post Number: 12 Registered: 10-2008 Posted From: 121.58.216.166 Posted on Thursday, January 21, 2010 - 09:14 am:    Staying in Perimeter Road Hotels often offers a challenge of transportation based on where you plan to visit. Hana Hotel is an option and midway between most activities. The Clarkton has a shuttle service and as they say IMHO you get what you pay for. Their rooms vary in price and is often the local custom the least expensive will go first. The number offered will most likely be answered by the staff as the RAO works very limited hours and emember the time difference. Manila is a rather large area to offer suggestions. Makati is the finance section of the Philippines and prices will reflect that. Places to stay vary greatly up to a number of five star hotels. Midrange would be City Garden and Oxford Suites. A google search should provide you their websites. If this is your first visit to these areas, it is best not to skimp on safety until you get a good feel for the area. Depending on when you are arriving it is best to book ahead. Happy Trails.   Larry W.

It's quiet, unlike the hotels on Fields Ave. Don't think it has wi-fi, though. Hotel Hanna is also supposed to be a good value. If you don't mind spending the extra bucks, the Clarkston would be the way to go.   PR Senior Member Username: Pretzlaff Post Number: 1523 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 67.190.52.82 Posted on Friday, January 15, 2010 - 11:00 am:    Mike-- I will only come along if Phyllis comes to protect me. I am actually thinking about heading that way next month. I found cheap air fares not only from the usual places like Singapore, but also Hong Kong.   Phyllis DeLancey Senior Member Username: Phyllis Post Number: 2503 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 76.255.109.90 Posted on Friday, January 15, 2010 - 01:08 am:    PR, you are right. I click on that website and for a minute I thought I was on an X rated web site.   Dale Jones Member Username: Airmandale Post Number: 35 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 98.231.201.20 Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2010 - 11:24 pm:    Mike, If you get into a real jam, for your plan c,d or e, here's the local VFW Post, http://www.vfwpost2485.com/ . They say they have a pup tent there, but probably if you get caught sleeping in it, they'll punish you by having you recite alphabet backwards or something like that. All kidding aside, some of the Post's members own hotels in town. Wish I could go to Angeles City but went to dentist yesterday and now I have to go to Panama and get teeth fixed after visiting kid in England, after visiting sisters in US etc! Happy Trails.   Conusvet Senior Member Username: Old_goat Post Number: 1269 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 166.214.184.98 Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2010 - 10:16 pm:    PR want to come along Thanks for the reply's all.   PR Senior Member Username: Pretzlaff Post Number: 1519 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 67.190.52.82 Posted on Thursday, January 14, 2010 - 04:09 pm:    Nelly-- Quite the pictures on the first site.
