It was my son's 3rd birthday last June 6, 2014. This time, we decided to book a hotel and celebrate his birthday there.
I heard about the good reviews of The Linden Suites from Trip Advisor so I booked a 1-bedroom suite for 2 nights/3 days.
Location wise, it is very good, accessible and convenient. It's centrally located along San Miguel Avenue near SM Megamall.
There is a 24/7 convenience store (Family Mart) at the ground floor and taxis are available 24/7.

This is my second time here. The first time I was with my friends.
The hotel lobby is ample, not too small, not too big either.
Check in was just ok. There was a line at that time so I had to wait for a little while.
The receptionists are just fine, not too bad but I suggest they smile a little more, be friendlier, with more energy perhaps.

Our room is at the 22nd floor.
It was a one bedroom suite and it was spacious and clean.
There was a reception area, a dining area and a kitchen.
The room, the bed and the bathroom are also huge.
You can cook here because they have all the kitchen amenities for cooking.
They have a small microwave oven, a standard ref, a convection cooker, a kettle and a coffee maker.
They have pans, pots, plates, chopping board, knife etc.
The reception 'sala' area has an ipod dock, home entertainment system.
The room has another home entertainment system, iron and ironing board.

The staff, guards, concierge are courteous and friendly.
Special mention to Anna of Housekeeping for being extra helpful.
We had the party during the day and the housekeeping was supposed to clean the room at 3pm.
But since I put the room on private, they weren't able to clean it so they left a note to call them if it's ok to clean the room.
I called them but there was just too many in line for cleaning so Anna went to ask if we need anything sorted out as it might take some time for the cleaning staff to arrive.
I told her that I just needed the kitchen area and the bathroom cleaned, towels changed. She obliged and cleaned it.

They have one of the few in the city I believe which has an indoor heated pool.
My son and hubby enjoyed it so much that we stayed a little longer.
They also have a fully functioning gym (health club) with instructor.

They have parking privileges for those who will check in at the basement.
We didn't try the restaurant as I had the food catered and delivered.
All in all, it was a great staycation and celebration.
I would definitely stay here again.
