The staff is amazing! The property has enough space for everything you'll need, like a kitchenette, a big fridge, and enough room to make any room a two-bedroom one. The only problem is that you can't book it online, as many other places in Manila. You have to call and make a reservation but the staff was always very flexible with our dates and everything.
I have been here twice now, and I can't wait to return. The rooms are not anything special. In fact, I'd describe them as minimal, but they are perfect. Everyone in Manila is super friendly. The Flaming Gorge is such a well kept secret. It is a magical place full of beauty.
Super friendly comfy and cozy! I will be staying here every Memorial day weekend so glad I found this place!
We spend most of our weekends during the summer at Vacation Inn. Linda and Stan are the most hospitable, kind people. They also keep it clean and orderly. I've stayed at a couple places while visiting Manila, but I'm so happy we found one that we love!
I was a little nervous at first booking a small town Inn. I was pleased when we arrived. We received friendly service at check-in and the couple was kind enough to let our daughter visit with their dog. Our room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It is an older place, but still cozy and suited our needs for the trip. We were going to just stay one night, but after arriving and feeling comfortable with the room, we opted to stay an extra night. I absolutely recommend Vacation Inn for a small family get away. The room only slept 4. One queen in private bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living space. The living space is small, but we were there to go out fishing, not to hang out in the room. I will definitely visit again and would recommend you do too!!! The only recommendation I have for the owners would be handicap bars in all bathrooms/showers.
Staff was incredible!! Went above and beyond to help us register and get settled in room. Rooms were very clean & comfortable, loved the kitchenette. New TVS and the views are amazing. Very highly recommend
Surrounded by insane natural beauty, minutes away from Flaming Gorge. Clean rooms with kitchenettes and bedroom views. Friendly staff. No summer is complete without a visit hers.
Very welcoming and friendly owners (I got the impression that they don't get many overseas visitors here) Accommodation is rustic and basic chalet type which was ideal for our overnight stop and very popular with families basing themselves here for touring the area. Located just out of town in a lovely rural area with stunning views
Great place especially for the cost. Friendly staff, clean, and couldn't hear the people next to me even though they had quite a few kids. If I was in the area again I would stay here.
Great place to stay! Just a short drive from Flaming Gorge. The property is well maintained and clean. The staff was friendly. I highly recommend staying here, and plan on coming back.
