Microtel by Wyndham UP Technohub: Chill out hotel, nice rooftop pool
We stayed here last June 4-6, 2016 to celebrate my son's birthday. The place is new, the staff, receptionists, crew and guards are very attentive from parking to checking in/out, dining and even when asking information.
Breakfast buffet is available from 6-10am. Food is varied and substantial during our stay, not a feast but it will do. Kids 4 yrs old not free but discounted at 50%. They have a nice pool at the rooftop. It's just 4 feet and cozy and the lighting at night makes it nicer.
Room is big, clean and new. Bathroom is clean and new. Aircon is just right. Beds and pillows are just right for our taste. They provide 3 pillows per bed which is just right. We had room service and we liked the food (Seafood Marinara and Tuna Sandwich) but the serving was too small for the price we paid. We had Yellow Cab delivered to us instead.
The hotel is near UP Ayala Technohub so you can just order from there or you can have it delivered. Water dispenser is located every floor and ice dispenser located at the 6th floor.
Parking is sufficient and safe. People are friendly and accommodating. Ref is not available so you need to request one from the receptionist when you check in. I think they said it's limited (first come, first served basis) so you just have to hope that there's one available when you check in. We had one during our stay.
There's free wifi!
We had fun bonding there and given the chance, we will definitely come back.
PS. Choose the room away (as in far away) from the door entrance per floor to save you from hearing the banging of the door when someone enters/exits. Please don't tell me I didn't warn you =)

La Union: Awesome Hotel
Awesome Hotel: Awesome and peaceful vacation
We stayed here last May 13-14-15 2016 with my husband and kid. We were supposed to have a team-building here with my officemates but due to some unforeseen events, it didn't push through. But since we were already booked --- first day thru AsiaTravel which I had a bad experience. It's not true that they have the lowest rate despite having a price guarantee on their site. I booked our second day thru the Awesome website and they have the lowest rate! I highly recommend that you book with them directly. Aside from the lowest rate, they also have free breakfast. AsiaTravel doesn't include free breakfast.
Anyway, we had a great time at Awesome Hotel. It's a bit far from Manila. We went there on a Friday Payday so we already expected the heavy traffic. Plus there had been various constructions along the way so it took us about 6-7 hrs to get there via NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX. But without traffic, I think you can get there in 3-4 hrs from Manila. The place was kinda private. You only have two resorts there so the beach is not crowded. Awesome hotel is a beachfront property. Both the beach and the hotel are clean.
Checking in/out is a breeze. Fast and friendly receptionists/staff/guards. We stayed at the ground floor, room 102. Pets and outside food are not allowed.
They have delicious food. We liked and enjoyed everything that we ordered especially the Peppered Tuna Nicoise. My son liked their Pancit Canton.
The free breakfast is filling and yummy. I like their restaurant overlooking the sea. They have a swimming pool and a jacuzzi.
The place is peaceful when there's really don't have much guests.
Activities can be limiting but if you love the beach and surfing and the glorious sunsets, I guess that's enough.
Courteous and nice staff. Sufficient parking. Strong wifi. Average meal per person is P200.
We will definitely go back.

The Legend Villas: Peaceful Staycation
The Legend Villas: Peaceful Staycation
We stayed here last April 16-17, 2016. We needed the much needed respite from the heat of Manila and this was the perfect choice. They have their summer promo at that time which includes de luxe room stay, buffet breakfast, snacks vouchers and access to almost all amenities except the Core Kinesis.
The Legend Villas is located at 60 Pioneer corner Madison Streets Mandaluyong City. It is accessible via EDSA (I think that's the easiest route). There are malls nearby and some restaurants.
Checking in/out was easy peasy. Didn't have any problem at all and it was really fast. The receptionists are courteous, friendly and accommodating. Their lobby design is traditional Filipino. And they have the traditional Filipino board games like sungka, dama and tic-tac-toe so you and your kids won't get bored while waiting.
Their room is huge. We have a small window (although I would have preferred a bigger one). Basic amenities are there like flat TV, ref, hair dryer, work area, kettle. I like that the controls of the lights are just within reach, just beside the bed. We had a good night sleep. Beddings and pillows are both comfy, no complaints there. We just had problem with the aircon although we didn't mention it to them, it was not that cold.
I had my massage inside the room. Although it was a little late (12am), they still accommodated me.
The toilet/washroom is very clean, somehow I think it's new. I just felt that they should have put a glass door in the shower area since the water when taking a bath spills over to the floor of the toilet seat. They provide shampoo and soap and dental kit and cotton buds and shower cap.
The pool is not that cold and it's nice especially for the kids. The package we got include snacks/drinks so we didn't get hungry while lounging in the pool. They also provide vests and balls for kids. They also have a jacuzzi but it gets too crowded from time to time and some guests stay for far too long at the expense of other hotel guests. But they have off peak which we took advantage for a little like 5 minutes before it gets crowded again.
Buffet breakfast was sufficient. I did enjoy it but my husband was looking for more variety like bacon and tapa and tocino. I loved the arroz caldo though.
We never tried the gym. Parking is ok. We had ours just in front of our villa which is cool especially when we need to check out. It was easier for us to bring our stuff to our car.
All in all, we had a great time especially my kid who enjoyed the pool far too much. Staff and crew were nice to us especially the one assigned in the pool area. We will definitely stay here again.
