Makati Luxury Hotel for LESS?! (City Garden Grand)

Is this the best value hotel in Makati? 🇵🇭 For only ₱4,500 ($75) a night, the City Garden Grand Hotel promises a 5-star experience in the heart of Makati Avenue. But is it actually worth it? In this honest review, I’m showing you the premium hardwood floors, the stunning rooftop pool views of Rockwell and Ortigas, and the Firefly Roof Deck restaurant. However, there is ONE awkward thing about the pool area that you need to know before you book! (Hint: It involves people on dates watching you swim 😅). We also test the gym, try the ₱1,000 massage at the spa, and rate the breakfast buffet a massive 10/5 Stars (Wait until you see the Baked Mac!). What we cover in this video: ✅ Room Tour: Premium hardwood floors vs. Old mattresses. ✅ The Awkward Pool: Why swimming here might feel a bit strange at night. ✅ Food Review: Buffalo Wings, Pizza, and the "Overcooked" Pad Thai. ✅ Breakfast Buffet: Why the limited spread is actually better than big hotels. ✅ Location: Proximity to the Red Light District and rooftop bars. 🕒 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: $75 Luxury in Makati? 0:41 - Location: Red Light District & Rooftop Bars 1:37 - WARNING: The Awkward Pool Situation 😅 3:25 - Room Tour: Hardwood Floors & Premium Feel 5:42 - The One Thing I Hated (No Smart TV in 2025?!) 6:48 - Firefly Roof Deck: Lunch Review 9:03 - Buffalo Wings & "Overcooked" Pad Thai 11:12 - Gym Tour & Equipment Check 11:58 - Spa Review: Is the ₱1,000 Massage Worth It? 12:52 - Night Swimming & Hot Tub Views 15:19 - BREAKFAST: Why I Rated this 10/5 Stars! 16:45 - Final Verdict: Would I stay here again?
