10/10 Excellent

Looks awful from the outside but comes alive inside. Old and dated but spotless. The cleaning staff were tremendous. We had a "suite' really a large room and bright with a closet size 2 burner kitchenette. Unfortunately we were on an outer facing wall so a lot of noise from the main drag.
The hotel seems to have a bit of a cult following. It's that pool. Heated, big and conducive to meeting new people and socializing. Everyone we ended up hanging out with was a repeat customer (one for 5 years in a row) or has already booked for next year as we have (inside facing).
Tons of good food outlets around. Check out O Croissant, 4 blocks up Niza for great French pastries. You could also walk 8 blocks up Niza, turn right at the main road and you've got Costco and La Comer, an incredible supermarket or go along the main drag about 4 blocks to the Caracol Mall for Soriana's for food and supplies. Don't forget to tip the baggers 5 pesos. They are unpaid seniors.
Situated in Versalles a more residential area they say that shuts down at 9:00 while the Romantic Zone is just starting up.
Internet was an issue. A lot of us had to gather in the lobby or around the pool to get access.
We left 3 days before the recent chaos but at this time still planning on returning for a month next year.
