Near Walking Street, Angeles: $30 a night or $6 for a 2-hour short-time room — plus a massage-sign scam warning

In one line
The host shows how to get to a hotel across from Walking Street that charges $30 a night ($6 for a 2-hour short-time room), and warns about a 'massage sign' scam he heard about.

💡 Key takeaways

[Hotel and prices]
• $30 a night, or $6 for a 2-hour short-time room (at the time of filming), he says.
• The hotel name sounds like 'Hotel GoGo 2' in the auto-captions. Check the exact name in the video.
• The host says it's close to Walking Street and the rooms are nice.

[Getting there]
• It's in the area directly across from Walking Street (the place name sounds like 'Aniceto Guieco').
• From McDonald's, cross the highway and take a trike for 35 pesos; it's just past the big Balibago arch over the street, he says.

[Short-time rooms in peak season]
• December is peak season, so hotels fill up and short-time rooms get hard to find, he says.
• Bigger hotels only offer short-time rates when they have spare rooms, and the host feels some are dropping short-time rooms altogether as travel recovers.

[Massage-sign scam — a story he heard]
• The host heard this from another man last week and says it's the first time he's heard of this scam.
• Women sit on plastic chairs in front of a door with a flashing 'massage' sign, or at the end of a narrow hallway between two bars, and a mama-san says you can take one to a hotel for 1,000 pesos for 1 hour or 2,500 pesos for 3 hours.
• After paying and reaching the hotel, the woman says she's sick and that the mama-san wants her back. When the man returned, the sign, chairs and women were all gone, the story goes.
