Hotel Elizabeth (Baguio)

I really wish I had taken more room shots of Hotel Elizabeth. It was a really pretty place, and worth it's price.

Back story here is, we were supposed to stay at our house in Baguio. My cousin, who was an hour ahead of us on the road, saw that the road leading to the house was being renovated. Since it was a narrow and winding road, we decided not to stay in the house instead, especially since it was late at night already. We didn't want to have to deal with figuring out if the electricity and running water had any kinks.

I had read about Hotel Elizabeth in a magazine, where they featured the owner. I saw online that they had a 50% percent sale on the prices! It came out about P2,500/night. Ordinarily J and I would stay at a lower priced place, but when we're the kids we're concerned about safety and cleanliness. We were relieved that they had available rooms. At 11PM, we were tired and ready to just pass out on a clean place. Luckily, Hotel Elizabeth was beautiful and warm and welcoming!


Each room has a veranda that opens up to a hotel on the back or front or side. And any side, the view was GORGEOUS! Just pine trees galore. And it was very private, your neighbors couldn't look in, because there were so many trees! You could really feel that the air was so clean here. I think, if you're the type, you can even leave the veranda door open and just lock the screen, so that you can sleep with the fresh air coming in. As most hotels in Baguio, no aircon here. But definitely not needed.


Pretty gazebos around the front for photo op, or just hanging around, like we did.


View from the lobby. Very airy feel to this place.


The package came with free 2 breakfasts. They were delicious! On Saturday, it was a buffet breakfast. I was expecting a so-so breakfast, but really, all of them were good! The kids ordered cereal, for P90+.



Sadly, no room shots. But I promise, it was really great. The staff was helpful and friendly too. I should add that this hotel is a walking distance from both Minesview AND Wright Park. Crazy. If you have kids who love those horses (like my kids), this is the place to be.

Side note, there's a vegetarian restaurant in the lobby that's known for delicious veggie dishes, but we were not able to try it out. Perhaps next time!

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the

Hotel Transylvania, Wreck It Ralph

Image
It's been a great stream of cartoon movies recently. The kids and I watched Hotel Transylvania few weeks back (it was impromptu, on a school day!) and it was really, really great. It was a touching story about a father's love for his daughter, and how he wants to shelter her from the bad world (humans). The comedy was right on the money, and adults and children alike were laughing out loud in the theatre. No slapstick comedy in that movie! We would love to watch it again. Interesting note, the voices behind this movie were Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez,  Andy Samberg (SNL), and Kevin James (of Zookeeper fame). Today we watched Wreck it Ralph. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, us or the kids. Probably us. If you used to play Nintendo games as a kid (i.e. during the time of Pacman, Sonic, Mario Brothers, Street Fighter), you will love this movie because the characters of these games make cameo appearances all throughout. Our kids couldn't really appreciate the appearanc

Meat Plus Cafe (Subic)

I was heavily dependent on my Samsung S4 during this road trip. For some reason, J's Iphone gave my zilch information in Baguio on its map, while the S4 gamely showed us the places to eat in the map and reviews! I had just bought it a few days ago through my old Globe plan, and it came in really handy during this trip.
