Grand westside hotel in Manila
✅ 1. Overall impression
Grand Westside Hotel is located in the Bay Area of Parañaque City,
and it is very close to City of Dreams, Okada, and SM Mall of Asia, so the location was really good.
Overall, it was a new hotel,
so the facilities were clean, luxurious, and reasonably priced, which was a very satisfying stay.
