My first time in Manado, I stayed in a less than comfortable hotel. For that price, I should have gotten more. They said it was on the second floor, but it turned out to be the third floor. The room was noisy, and I wanted to rest during the day because of the long 3-hour trip from Jakarta. I was disturbed by the sound of knocking, like someone working, probably during repairs. The television was just for decoration, there was no broadcast. The parking lot was also cramped. The only plus was the pool.
