After not being able to board our Airasia flight back to Manila due to overbooking, we had to look for a place to stay for the night. The airport guards and employees pitied us for not being able to be home for New Year's eve and suggested and pointed Garcellano Tourist Inn as a cheap accommodation.

It was easy to find because (1) everyone knows where it is and (2) it is found along Rizal Avenue at the center of the city.

Inside the seemingly small two-door entrance and past the lobby is a huge compound.
Even though we got the cheapest room available at 450 php per night, we were amazed that the rooms are not as small as studio-type or pigeon-hole-condo-types. Instead, they were big apartment-like rooms.
By the way, this is what their key chain looks like. We presumed they don't want us to loose our keys. There's also two towels laid on our queen-sized bed.
Yes, it's a big queen-size bed with a bed table on the side. There is also a closet with hangers in them. There's a bench and a desk with lots of sockets too.
Although we're happy with the cleanliness and generous area-size of our room, we were very disappointed with the rest room. The sink and its counter had evident stains and mildew.
We used the toilet as if it was a public toilet and we couldn't take a bath given the way the shower area was presented.
