My first staycation at Manhattan hotel

In this time of a pandemic, a staycation is the best way to enjoy a holiday. Moreover, in my city the government regulations are still quite strict, if we vacation outside the city we have to do a swap test afterwards. Moreover, the rules of the company where I work are very strict, apart from having to do a swab test, we also have to quarantine for three days after traveling out of town. So, I choose to stay in the city and occasionally staycation at the hotel.

Early last month, I mean early December, my two friends, Tina and Vivi stayedcation at a four-star hotel in Jakarta called the Manhattan Hotel. This was our experience of staying at a Manhattan hotel. We booked an executive room for three people.

I like the city view the most that I can see from inside this hotel room. Since we stayed on the 27th floor, we could clearly see the beautiful city view. I also like the bathtub, I mean I like it because there is a bathtub for me to soak while listening to my favorite music. I also like it because it's next to a mall, so I can order whatever I want.

There are actually more things I like than I don't like. For example, the breakfast is not that good in my opinion, although the menu has many, the taste is lacking. Then, the swimming pool is only open until the afternoon, at that time my friends and I wanted to go swimming at night, and it turned out that the swimming pool was closed and very dark. I don't know, why they close the swimming pool at night, but I think it's better to just open it, because visitors sometimes like to swim at night. Last point, the thing that I don't like about this hotel is that it's expensive, Lol.

Actually the original price is very expensive, about more than IDR 2,000,000 or above USD 140.08 per night. But because there was a big sale, so we only had to pay around IDR 700,000 or USD 49.03 per night. It's very cheap for a four star hotel like Manhattan.

Me and my friends had a great day at this hotel. We had a great time after about two months of not getting together. We made lots of tiktok videos and chatted till early morning. This place is really fun. But I don't think it's because of the place, it's because my friends are with me, so it feels really good.

Alright, that was my little story about a staycation at the Manhattan hotel. I hope you like it. Forgive me if anyone is offended by my words. I really didn't mean to offend anyone. Thank you for reading my blog and see you in the next post!
