The Century Park Hotel, Malate, Philippines

It is where Philippine Airlines (PAL) housed the passengers, (I was one of them) of the cancelled PR112 flight last May 16th, 2023, bound for Los Angeles from Manila for 2 nights.

It is a huge hotel as it accommodated mostly all the passengers of the cancelled flight, at least, 300 people, I would say. The check-in was very smooth and pretty quick, which helped diffused the upset and irritated guests in a timely manner, great job!

 

I already have deleted photos of the hotel room and restaurant so I used this photo of me and my cousins who came to see me, to showcase the hotel's carpeted staircase.

The room is huge with comfy beds and, with basic essentials like coffee, toothbrush, slippers and whatnot. I was in the 8th floor and I had a beautiful view from my window, I loved it.

The lobby is spacious and there is a bar and gift shops inside the hotel.

The food in their buffet restaurant which I forgot the name are appetizing and delicious, plus the servers and hosts are very pleasant. Everyone with hotel ID is welcoming, polite and with all smiles. Customer service at its best! 

I highly recommended this place!

Sahara Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, Nevada

SAHARA Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada is a sister hotel of GRAND Sierra Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nevada and being a regular customer of the latter, they sent me complimentary rooms for 3 nights which I grabbed and enjoyed early this year.

 

This hotel is not really bad! It has free parking. The rooms are neat and not over priced. The staff are nice. There are restaurants inside for the guests to eat. There is Starbucks for coffee lovers. And the apparel shop by the entrance is really affordable.

  

Hubby on the other hand, is not a fan of this hotel because of 2 reasons. The first reason is because its location is on the strip, though actually, it is a little further side of the strip already.  The second reason is that their elevators suck.. which I really agree. I am not sure if the hotel management just don't want to use other elevators or maybe the other elevators are just not functioning.  It's okay if you are not in a hurry, you know, but people are tired from their long trips or flights and they just want to get to their rooms already to rest and relax. Or, people just want to get out of the hotel to catch their flights especially in the mornings. I had to use their stairs twice because the elevators are full. I was in the 6th floor so I opted to just use the stairs and the people who were also waiting followed me. That is the only problem I see. The elevators. The rest are great. 

 

Sharing photos of the room where we stayed:

 

 

 

It's absolutely pretty! I would still go back there even my husband would disagree, Lol! I hope all their elevators will be working by then though.

Thank you for dropping by!

Have a high vibration day!

Visiting Tucson, Arizona

After working 6 straight nights last week, I packed and headed to Tucson, Arizona to attend the 50th birthday party of my friend, Rowena and 23rd birthday party of her son Nico. With not getting enough sleep for 6 days and being too stressed out of the driving style of my husband (he raced with other crazy motorists the entire 6.5 hours from Las Vegas), I arrived haggard at the party. Nevertheless, I had a blast! I met and saw lots (as in lots like, more or less a 100) of Filipinos, got to dance a little, and enjoyed the appetizing food.

 Almira and I pose for a photo right after we found each other at
the Desert Diamond Hotel and Casino. 
She flew all the way from Virginia just to attend Rowena's birthday celebration.

 

 With the birthday celebrant Rowena and Almira. It was really great seeing them again! We belong to the same town back in the Philippines, they are neighbors and I live few kilometers away from their place.

 The party favors. 
Hubby was like, "What's in the box?"  

It's a miniature globe made of glass with a holder. 
It's really cute!

 The delicious Birthday cake of Rowena.
I did not have a photo of Nico's cake but it was equally delicious.

Four Points by Sheraton Hotel accommodate us.The rate is very affordable. The room is not that spacious but it has a safe for my important stuff, a refrigerator and a microwave oven. It is located very close to the Tucson Airport, 8 minutes away from the venue.

This road sign has been seen many times in Arizona.
This is the story.

 
I cannot find a photo of me and my husband together at the party, I guess we did not have one. That sucks! Anyhow, we drove back to Nevada State the following day.
 
Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a good one!
