Hotels near US Embassy

**Elroi** · March 31st, 2005 02:50 AM

we need a place to stay overnight for 4 persons (2 adults + 2 minors).. we're scheduled for an interview kasi at 7am but we need to be there daw an hour earlier. Any suggestions on a decent but inexpensive hotel na malapit lang sa US embassy...

help naman.. where and how much kaya ang rate?

I remember back in '97, Bay View was brand new - nice & clean.
went there last year, and the hotel sucks!!! it smells like mold!!!
they were doing some contruction and that didnt help either...
not to mention that the service is bad!
the only good thing about this hotel is starbucks!!!

Anyway, how about Holiday Inn? Right across McDonalds?
just a few blocks down the Embassy.

The Pearl Manila. It's near PGH.

Bayview lang talaga ang pinaka malapit dyan sa US embassy. Saka yan ang mura. kaya lang ... tiis ka sa service nila. Pero OK lang din naman.

Unless you have something else to do, there is no need to be there by 6. If you can arrive at 6:45, you will be able to get in around 7:05, and will be interviewed by the consular officer between 10 and 11am... Talagang ganon. Kunyari lang yung 7, 7:30, 8 at 8:30. Tanghali ka na makakalabas.

Medyo OT...

Tips:
Leave your phones behind. Kukunin din sa 'yo sa gate. Wag na lang. Balikan mo na lang sa car or sa hotel room.
Bring a book, or kung may kasama ka maghanda ng maraming kwento. (Di ko sure kung puwede ang walkman/mp3 player.)
Snacks, especially if you have kids - mga biscuit lang or sandwich.

If you're non-immigrant I can walk you through the steps...

regarding sa hotel, what i need is yung pinakamalapit kasi 7am at 10am yung interviews (2 appointments). so i just need a place to stay for the night at pwede ka din mag-rest after the 1st interview.. para di na dun maghintay sa embassy..

the_wildthing: thanks for the tip.. yes, we're non-immigrant. and 1st time na mag-apply for a US visa (but my wife had 2 US visa nun bata pa siya).. can u guide me through..

In that case, best bet mo is Bayview. Lapit sa embassy. Cheapo nga lang talaga. Last time na nag-stay kami dun (May 2004) for an event. May mga daga sa rooms, tumutulo yung kisame ng CR tapos malamig pa yung food. Pero, malapit sya. Kung one-night ka lang, I guess pwede na dun.

yes, 1 night stay lang. basta decent naman, okay lang yun.. sensya na, malayo kasi location ko sa US embassy (2.5-3 hrs drive) kaya much better to stay there overnight kesa magmadali sa byahe sa umaga..

baka meron may alam ng number ng Bayview..
