Why People Love It

8.5⭐317 reviews
  • Directly connected to Terminal 3 via the 'Runway Manila' air-conditioned footbridge
  • The West Wing rooms are massive (55sqm) with wooden floors
  • Cru Steakhouse is legitimately one of the best steakhouses in the city

Quick Take: A high-end logistical lifesaver that trades local charm for extreme convenience and a really good steak.

Reviewed by @Travelinghippo: I stayed here for a quick business trip and it was exactly what I needed. The room was spotless, the marble bathroom felt huge, and having a Nespresso machine right there made my early mornings so much easier. Solid choice for work travel.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the bridge to the airport and the massive breakfast buffet, but often get confused by the two different wings.

Reality check

Housekeeping consistency is slipping—recent reports of missed spots and 'musty' smells in older carpeted rooms.

  • You have an early morning flight out of Terminal 3
  • You enjoy casino access (Newport World Resorts is next door)
  • You need a reliable, high-speed internet connection for work

Cleanliness & Maintenance

7.8
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though recent reviews cite missed restocking of minibar/water.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but specific recent reports of black mold in sink drains and grout in older Main Wing rooms.
  • Maintenance: West Wing is pristine; Main Wing is showing age with scuffed furniture and older plumbing.
  • Linens & towels: High quality, crisp Marriott standard linens. Towels are thick and fluffy.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature Marriott 'white tea' scent; some older rooms have a faint musty/carpet smell.

Before you book

Good to know

  • The 'Runway Manila' bridge is on the 4th floor of the Newport Mall/Hotel complex; it connects directly to T3 departures.
  • Traffic in this area (Pasay) is gridlock hell; use the bridge or walk if going to T3.
  • Grab (ride-sharing) is reliable here, but pickup points can be crowded.

What to pack

  • Swimsuit for the rooftop lap pool
  • Earplugs (just in case you get a connecting room)
  • Jacket (the AC in the hotel and mall is set to 'arctic')

Room Genie

Best picks

  • West Wing Deluxe King (55sqm, newer, wooden floors, better soundproofing)
  • Golf Course View rooms (quieter than city/pool view)

Rooms to avoid

  • Main Wing rooms near the elevator (high foot traffic)
  • Rooms facing the pool if you want to sleep past 8 AM (kids/music)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am requesting a room in the West Wing, preferably facing the Golf Course for quiet. Please avoid the Main Wing if possible as I have allergies to older carpeting.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is the shuttle really free?

Yes, there is a complimentary shuttle bus that runs every hour, but the 'Runway Manila' footbridge is often faster for Terminal 3.

Can I walk to the airport?

Yes, strictly to Terminal 3 via the Runway Manila bridge (about a 10-15 minute walk). Do not try to walk to T1, T2, or T4.

Is breakfast included?

Not in the base rate. The Marriott Cafe buffet is expensive (~$30/person) but extensive.

Is there a casino inside?

Not inside the hotel lobby itself, but it is part of the Newport World Resorts complex, so the casino is immediately adjacent.

Which pool is better?

The West Wing rooftop pool is a lap pool and much quieter. The Main Wing pool is resort-style and full of families.

Does the hotel smell like smoke?

Rooms are non-smoking, but the lobby and areas connecting to the casino can occasionally catch a drift of smoke.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    The Executive Lounge in the West Wing is massive and offers a dinner spread that can replace a meal.

  • ✨

    If the main breakfast buffet is a zoo, ask if the Cru Steakhouse is open for overflow seating (sometimes they serve breakfast there for elites).

  • ✨

    There is a hidden 'kiddie' pool area that is often empty if you just want to dip your feet.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The 'City View' is often just a view of the highway and traffic jams.

  • 💡The walk to the West Wing from the main lobby is a hike—bring comfortable shoes.

  • 💡Room service prices are nearly double what you'd pay at the restaurants in the attached mall.

  • 💡The bidet sprayers in the Main Wing bathrooms are older and have aggressive water pressure—test before using.

  • 💡You can hear the golf course maintenance mowers early in the morning if you have a low-floor golf view room.
