Alexa Smart Home l Balcony Night View l Fast Wifi Overview
You know what surprised me most about Alexa Smart Home l Balcony Night View l Fast Wifi? It’s actually tucked away in SMDC Lush Residences, which honestly feels more like a proper residential building than your typical tourist trap hotel. I mean, when you’re walking around Makati, you expect the usual business hotel vibe, but this place has something different going on.
The whole smart home setup isn’t just a gimmick – I’m talking voice-controlled everything, from the lights to the AC, which comes in handy when you’re sprawled on the couch after a long day exploring the city. The balcony view they mention in the name? Well, it delivers, especially at night when the city lights stretch out below you. I spent way too many evenings out there with a beer just watching Manila come alive after dark. The wifi speed is legit fast too – I was working remotely during part of my stay and had zero issues with video calls, which you can’t always count on in this part of the world.
What really sold me on this four-star spot was how it sits in the middle of everything without feeling chaotic. You’re close enough to walk to Greenbelt and Glorietta for shopping and food (seriously, some of the best Filipino restaurants are like a 10-minute walk), but the residential building keeps things quieter than you’d expect. The building security is pretty tight, which I appreciated – you need a keycard just to get to the elevator. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend arriving after 3 PM because the front desk seemed a bit overwhelmed when I showed up early. The unit itself feels more like a serviced apartment than a hotel room, with a proper kitchen setup and living area that actually makes sense if you’re staying more than a couple nights. Honestly, the bed was comfortable enough, though the pillows were a bit soft for my taste – minor complaint really. One thing to note: the building can get pretty busy during rush hours since it’s mostly long-term residents, so factor that in if you’re trying to get somewhere quickly in the evening.
