Arriving at Manila airport, immigration was quick. There’s a Grab Taxi stand outside the door when you exit customs. Easy. Cost 200 pesos to the Pearl Lane Hotel, 2-star hotel. The room, nothing special but it included breakfast which was okay. Room cleaned daily. I also ordered off the menu a Pancit Canton egg noodle dish which was very good, even though it had no pork in it like the menu said. No big deal, it was delicious and the price very reasonable. Good air conditioning, wifi, instant hot water for showers. The staff very friendly. Five minute walk to Robinson’s Mall, huge place, lots of stores. I’d stay here again.
