I chose Richmonde because of its location. It was very accesible.
Our stay at the hotel was comfortable but I don't think I'd be coming back again.
The room was a bit small for a Deluxe room. We stayed at Discovery Suites Ortigas last February and their room was bigger.
The coffee and tea making facility was kept hidden at the cupboard under the TV. There was no space or table to put the kettle in. For my daily tea drinks, I had to put the kettle on the floor, unplug my laptop so I can boil the water.
The faucet had minimal leaks. I didn't bother informing them. I know I'm bad. Housekeeping should have told their Engineering about it. But for the whole duration of our stay (8 days), they did not fix it.
The A/C was just too cold. Even if it was set at the warmest temperature, it was still very cold. We had to turn it on and off.
The staff were not very polite nor friendly.
Business table near the bed... By the way, I cut my hair again :)
Bathroom area... This is my longer hair :)
The hotel has some redeeming factors although these are not enough to keep me from coming back.
The breakfast buffet was quite good. They have Filipino and Internatiol selection. And everyday the food changes. The waiters were very attentive. I always get a refill of coffee :)
The location is perfect. Most of my meetings were in Megamall and in Pasig. Both are easily accessible. I only had to walk to go to Shaw Blvd. and ride a jeepney or go to Megamall to ride a FX.
Hopefully next year, we won't need to stay at a hotel. My brother's unit at East of Galleria is set to be turned over early next year. They're planning to rent it out like a hotel. I'd love to stay there for free. LOL

This is very informative, as I'm trying to look at hotels to stay in Manila for my next trip to the Philippines. The last time I was there, I wasn't too happy about the accommodations.
Kayni - That's exciting! When is your trip to Philippines? =)
