Koreatown's Hidden Gem: Luxurious Garden Suite Hotel (Clark/ Angeles)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Koreatown's (allegedly) Hidden Gem: The Luxurious Garden Suite Hotel on Clark/Angeles. Let's see if this place lives up to the hype, shall we? And, oh boy, prepare for some serious stream-of-consciousness…
First Impressions & The Accessibility Gauntlet:
Okay, so, "Hidden Gem," huh? The first thing that always gets me with these places is the location. Is it truly hidden, or just… off the beaten path? Finding this place wasn't exactly like Indiana Jones searching for the Ark of the Covenant, but it did involve a little bit of… driving. Thankfully, parking was a breeze! (Free car park on-site! Score!) That's always a good start, especially in a city where you practically need a treasure map just to find a parking space.
Now, about accessibility. This is HUGE for me. I'm a big advocate for making sure everyone has a good experience. So, I focused on that. The website was a little vague, which always sets off alarm bells. But once I got there, the elevator was a lifesaver (Elevator! Yes!). And the front desk? Super helpful. I checked. The front desk staff are trained in safety protocols. Sweet! The hotel also has facilities for disabled guests. That's really good. They need to be crystal clear about what that means.
Rooms & the Perks: Plush Life or Fluffy Failure?
Alright, let's talk about the room. I’m gonna go with the "Luxurious Garden Suite" claim. I mean, the suite was indeed pretty spacious. Air conditioning (essential!), blackout curtains (hallelujah!), and a comfy bed. They even had bathrobes and slippers. See, this is already making me feel like royalty, and it hasn't yet sunk in that I'm going to have to pay for these.
The bathroom? Well, the separate shower and bathtub were nice, and those little complimentary toiletries? Always appreciated. The water pressure in the shower? Solid! (Always a win.) I also noticed there's a bathroom phone. Who even uses those anymore? Probably some secret spy stuff.
Then there's the free Wi-Fi! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! And, get this, they had Internet access – LAN (that’s for the old-school gamers, I guess). And Internet access – wireless. (I'm guessing.) What a time to be alive.
Things to Do (Or Not): Spa, Pool, and Beyond…
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The hotel boasts a lot! The spa and the pool looked particularly enticing after a long day of…well, doing absolutely nothing but driving and checking into a hotel. The Pool with view sounded dreamy. I can already envision myself, a cocktail in hand, surveying the city. The fitness center was also on the list, but I'm going to be honest, I didn’t actually use it. That's just not my style.
So, let's get to what I did experience.
The Pool with a View: The Moment of Truth
Let's be honest, the pool was the make-or-break for me. And… it was gorgeous! Not a huge pool, but the view was spectacular. Totally instagrammable. I spent a blissful afternoon by the pool, lost in my own little world, doing basically nothing. Pure bliss.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Belly Time!
Alright, food time! The restaurant situation was intriguing. Asian cuisine was definitely touted, but also International cuisine. They had a coffee shop. A snack bar. Happy Hour! (This is sounding better and better.) Room service 24-hour! (Bless). And there was also a Poolside Bar.
I tried the restaurant for breakfast. They served a buffet. The Asian breakfast was actually pretty decent (the kimchi was spicy in the best way). They also had Western breakfast options, which I appreciate for the less adventurous people. There was also a coffee/tea in restaurant. Coffee was a must.
I decided ordering room service when I got back to my room "After a long day of doing nothing" sounded amazing. So I ordered some snacks and a big ol' salad. Chef's kiss. The salad was one of those that gave off a high-class vibe, and it was delicious.
Cleanliness & Safety: Are We Safe?
Cleanliness and safety are paramount these days. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Fingers crossed. (Although, with the room still being available… I have my doubts). Staff trained in safety protocol? Good. Anti-viral cleaning products? I have to take their word for it…
Services & Conveniences: The Extras
They got a lot. A/V for special events, business facilities, concierge, currency exchange, dry cleaning, elevator, laundry, luggage storage, meeting/banquet facilities, safe deposit boxes, taxi service… like, seriously, this place is geared up.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits:
So, no place is perfect, right? I'm a big fan of being real. One minor thing: the lighting in the room was a little harsh. Minor gripe, but worth mentioning. Also the food delivery option was not available.

Project: Operation - Survive Garden Suite Hotel & Koreatown (with a dash of sanity)
Day 1: Arrival & The Jet Lag Tango
- 06:00 AM (ish) - The Pre-Flight Panic: Okay, so the alarm went off. Did I pack? Did I remember my passport? Did I say goodbye to the cat? (Probably not a priority, but you know). Airport chaos ensues. Somehow, miraculously, I make it through security.
- 10:00 AM (local time, Manila) - Manila Madness! Landed! The heat hits you like a brick wall. Honestly, it's the humidity that gets to you. It's like trying to breathe underwater… made of soup. Finding a taxi feels like a quest in itself, involves way too much haggling.
- 12:00 PM - (ish) - The Hotel Hustle & Humble Beginnings: Finally! Garden Suite Hotel. First impressions? Clean-ish. The lobby smells faintly of air freshener trying desperately to cover up… something. Check-in is… efficient. The room? Okay, it's a room. The aircon works, praise the heavens.
- 1:00 PM - Food, Glorious (But Slightly Questionable) Food: First meal! Head to Koreatown (walking distance… if you're a masochist). Found a small, unassuming place. Ordered something I thought I recognized. Turns out it's a kimchi stew grenade. Delicious, but potentially lethal to my digestive system. Worth it.
- 3:00 PM - The Nap of Judgment: Jet lag hits. Hard. Collapsed on the bed, fully clothed. Woke up an hour later, convinced I'd missed the apocalypse. Still alive. Success! (Probably.)
- 5:00 PM - Koreatown Exploration (Round 1): Wandered through Koreatown. Neon signs, K-Pop blasting, the smell of BBQ filling the air. It's vibrant, a little overwhelming, and utterly fascinating. Ended up buying three face masks and a questionable-looking street snack. No regrets… yet.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner Mishap: Tried a different restaurant. Ordered something fancy with way too much confidence. Turns out, it's spicy. Really spicy. Tears streaming, nose running, sweating profusely. The waiter just smiles knowingly. I bow to their superior spice tolerance.
- 9:00 PM - Bedtime… or Attempt Thereof: Exhausted. But can't sleep. That kimchi stew is bubbling in there… and the jet lag is a monster. Watch some TV. Realize everything's dubbed in Tagalog. Laugh hysterically at the absurdity. Then, finally, darkness.
Day 2: Culture, Karaoke, and Culinary Curiosities
- 8:00 AM - The Breakfast Battle: Breakfast at the hotel. Buffet. Standard fare. Attempted to eat more than one plate. Failed.
- 9:00 AM - Day Trip Dilemma: Okay, so I should be planning a day trip. But the internet is dodgy. And I'm probably going to spend too much time on Facebook. Debating between the waterfalls and the volcano (if I can even get a proper tour).
- 10:00 AM - Karaoke Catastrophe: This is happening. Koreatown is calling, Karaoke is beckoning! Went to a karaoke place. Absolutely butchered a few songs (Queen, you deserved better). Found out I like karaoke. A lot.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch (and Regret): Back to Koreatown. Ordered food… again. Spicy food is addictive, it seems.
- 2:00 PM - Nap Time (Take 2): Yep. Jet lag got me again. I am now the nap king.
- 4:00 PM - Market Mayhem: Went to a local market. Saw some… interesting things. Definitely bought some fruit I didn't recognize and immediately regretted biting into. My face is still a funny expression.
- 6:00 PM - The Search for Authentic Adobo: The constant pressure to find "authentic" anything on the internet is a lot. Went to a restaurant that claimed to have the best Adobo. Was it the best? Maybe. Spicy. It was definitely spicy. *Note: I'm starting to think everything in the Philippines is spicy.
- 8:00 PM - Karaoke Sequel: Back to karaoke. This time, I'm a professional (in my own mind). More songs are destroyed. Zero regrets. The locals are enjoying it. Pretty sure they are finding hilarious!
- 10:00 PM - Bedtime Breakdown: Thinking about life, questioning my choices while watching TV. The jet lag is slowly getting better, or it's not. Either way, Tomorrow will bring food, and the spice!
Day 3: Beyond Koreatown (Maybe?) & The Emotional Rollercoaster
- 9:00 AM - The Great Wake-Up: Woke up feeling… less terrible. Progress! Maybe.
- 10:00 AM - The Day Trip Decision: Ok, ok, I have to decide! Research! Research! (More Facebook) the heat, the traffic… decisions, decisions…
- 12:00 PM - The Culinary Conquest (continued): Going back to the same restaurant, they're probably wondering: "is he getting help yet? Is he okay?". Yes, I'm okay. More spicy food.
- 2:00 PM - Pool Time? (or the lack thereof): This hotel does have a pool, right? It's gonna take a lot of energy for it though…
- 4:00 PM - The Post-Spice Emotional Crash Is it a thing? Or is it the travel? Either way, I'm starting to feel a little… wistful. Missing home. Missing the cat. Wondering if I smell like kimchi.
- 6:00 PM - The Sunset Stroll: Found a park. Sun setting. Gorgeous. The Philippines, you're beautiful.
- 7:00 PM - Final Karaoke Flourish (or Failure): One last night in Koreatown. One last karaoke session. Sing until I can't sing anymore. Take ALL the risks and embarrassing songs. Laugh and cry, and embrace the absurdity.
- 9:00 PM - The Packing Predicament: Packing is a nightmare. I've bought so many things. Probably haven't worn half of the clothes that I brought.
- 10:00 PM - Answering the Question: Do I like the Philippines? This trip has been mess, but that's half the fun. Thinking about all the places I could go next time.
Day 4: Departure & The Aftermath
- 6:00 AM - The Early Bird (or the Annoyed Traveler): Up early. Not because I want to be, but because I have to. Final check of the room. Did I leave anything? Probably.
- 7:00 AM - The Last Spicy Breakfast: Final breakfast. Forced myself to eat more. Probably a mistake.
- 8:00 AM - The Taxi Tango (Part 2): Negotiate a taxi with the skills I picked up (barely) over the past few days.
- 9:00 AM - Airport Antics: Airport chaos. I'm getting better at it, I think.
- 12:00 PM - Goodbye, Philippines! Board the plane. Wave goodbye.
- Rest of the Day - The Jet Lag Reckoning (Round 3): Back home… and the jet lag returns with a vengeance. Sleep, eat, and recover. Thinking about next trip…
Final Thoughts:
Well, that was a trip. Messy, chaotic, and full of questionable food choices and karaoke catastrophes. Would I do it again? Absolutely. The Philippines… it gets under your skin. It's vibrant, it's challenging, and it's utterly unforgettable. And now, I get to go home and think of the trip!
