Subic Bay was the site of numerous naval battles during the Spanish-American War and World War II; it later became a massive naval base. Eventually, the bay parted ways with its military past and today is noted as a commercial port. Located northwest of Manilla, visitors can escape the din of life while enjoying the best hotels that Subic Bay has to offer.
The Dryden Hotel is located in the Barrio Barretto section of Subic Bay and may be best suited for travelers seeking a budget option: as of 2010, the price of a standard room was $21 a night. The hotel offers nine rooms plus the Dryden Diner, open 24 hours with an international menu, and the Rum Jungle Bar. Amenities include free Wi-Fi service, cable television and a generator for the occasional power outage. The hotel is a five-minute walk from many bars and restaurants that line the barrio.
