1. I was not informed that there is a transitioning happening between Crimson and Quest Plus. Also,

Nice big clean room. The tumble drier in Tower 2, 36E, needs attention, doesn't work correctly, sometimes won't start unless you push the drum. Good breakfast variety, including cappuccino. You also have to request laundry detergent, dishwasher tabs etc.

Best NAIA T3 airport hotel location - 5 min walk from T3 via covered walkway (Runway Manila). Cross a small back alley street and you are at the hotel entrance. Well appointed room, clean, and often a third of the price than other hotels that requires ANOTHER 5-10min walk after the covered walkway. Lawson/Starbucks in the same building. Highly recommened for a late night arrival and/or early morning departure out of NAIA T3 (not T1 or T2).

This is a nice hotel right in old Manila. That means narrow roads, foot and vehicular traffic with hit and miss sidewalks, crowded, chaotic with people from various walks of life. It’s right beside Binondo church (Dominican 1596) and it’s the “first Chinatown” across the river from Intramuros which is the Spanish colonial fort. The modern infrastructure like electricity and communications can be seen to be retrofitted as times modernized; these were the first models of lessons learned in the present urbanization playbook. In many ways the place is frozen in time and for me, that’s the charm.
