We booked with Bonvoy points due to a 5:45 am flight. Arrived in the afternoon and was surprised at how nice the lobby was - it even had a bar! Fanciest Fairfield inn that I’ve been in. Checkin was a breeze, even with a cat. We had to pay a $500 peso fee ($25 USD) and it was quick. They even offered a comp airport shuttle at 3am. The room (509) was clean, and we even had a balcony. Here’s where it gets weird. The “balcony” was a concrete area with 7-foot high walls. On the other side of the wall was some sort of food court atrium. It was a Friday afternoon/evening so we heard constant music and occasional happy hour screams, laughter and cheer. Normally I wouldn’t care, but we planned this hotel stay so we could go to bed super early because we had to wake up at 2am. The music didn’t stop until 9:30 pm. Also, the key only worked for the 5th floor, but the ice maker was on the 6th floor. So I had to enlist the help of two housekeepers to get me to the 6th floor. I would only stay there again if I could be guaranteed a hotel room on the even side of the hotel. The rooms facing the interior atrium are not appropriate for those needing a peaceful night’s sleep. This hotel stay was a GITSIP - Great in Theory, Sucks in Practice.
