I know it's not very practical to spend a night in a hotel, but come on, I haven't really traveled since that traumatic Bali incident 2 months ago. It's been a while since I last had a getaway. Daming excuses! Haha But in reality, it just all boils down the fact that I love to sleep in a luxurious bed once in a while. So thanks Rob for this treat, again!
Check-in time was 3:00pm but luckily for us, our room was ready at 2:00. The staff were all nice. They were very accommodating. We didn't encounter any hassle as we used the voucher.
The 1-BR suite assigned to us was on the 20th floor. And it's quite nice to see a space to breathe in the center of the rooms.
I've read a couple of mixed feedbacks regarding Discovery Suites that's why I never set any expectations. This hotel may not be brand new but I can say that the suite was well maintained and clean.
This 1-BR suite has almost all the appliances and furniture the guests might need. I think this is perfect for long term stays.
Living area has a cozy feel. Full sized windows freshened the ambiance. It's (like) home!
As for the room, it was spacious. Full sized windows made the room brighter. The bed was one of the most remarkable. The pillow and comforter were probably made to create a perfect sleep. And indeed, I had. It's more than some cheap holidays costa teguise.
Aside from the bedroom, the bathroom is always the highlight of a hotel stay. This suite's version is simple but slightly classy.
The super sound sleep in that bed was very unforgettable, but this door lock is running second. See why..
Rob and I checked out the indoor pool area. Uncrowded. No one was there. And no more swimsuit shot for me. Di na keri, di na ko slim! ^_^
The 50% off voucher we availed also includes 2 breakfast buffet @Restaurant 5. This deal is really great, I told yah!
Can't post all the photos here, but these are some of them.
Overall, Discovery Suites may not be as excellent as Oakwood, but the hotel is clean, maintained, and spacious. Not to mention the very accommodating staff. Imagine for P3,950 - you can get a sound sleep in a 1BR suite and a hearty breakfast buffet. This deal is quite a steal!

You are so right about throwing a party there! I once attended a surprise birthday party that was held sa gnyan mismong room at success naman!
ganda ng room. it actually looks more like a very comfy house more than a hotel room.
gusto ko yung indoor pool, kahit yun lang, solb na ako. ahahahah. im so babaw
Tara Hotel Party na! Hehehe! :)
very worth it for P3950. it is really a steal.
ganda ng room chyng. i've been there one time to visit a cousin. ganda nung room nila. looks different now though.
minsan nga naisip ko i'd sleep over in a hotel in the city (SF) para maexperience naman ano.

I super enjoy reading your blog...
Always looking forward to your new post.
Thank you for always sharing moments like this with us. =)
I miss Discovery! I used to work in the same building. Natandaan ko yang room. Nagmahal na pala yung ganyang suite? As far as i rmmbr ganyan tlga price nya date when we used our free stay there courtesy of our company. Sa bagay matagal na kase ako nakapasok jan pero everything looks the same pa din. Ikaw na ang prinsesa ng mga posh hotel! :)
buffet breakfast FTW!..
chyng... parang ang sarap tumira diyan..... yun nga lang medyo mahal... tas ang food... ampness yummy :D
ok and pwede na. Pero the best talaga si Oakwood e...hehehe :D
haven't been to discovery suites but from your photos, it's not difficult to like it. tina and gabby will give their thumbs up with your cereal plate, mas mahilig sila doon kaysa sa akin.
i heard there's a must-try steak house at its 22nd floor called 22Prime. i could just imagine the ambience of the entire ortigas while dunking fork on a sumptuous plate of steak... (imagination ko lang iyon!)
saan kayang hotel kayo sa susunod na bakasyon ni rob? *just asking* hehehe...
ps : sama naman sa shangri la the fort nyo sa 2014, haha! pero treat pa din ni rob ha. hehe!
Love the lighting fictures in the lobby. And the pool's so elegant. =)
Love the food photos as always. Ang sweet naman ni Rob. :)
na-excite ako sa pool. parang ang intimate--maliit pero diko nafeel yung parang dika makahinga kasi ang aliawalas ng colors.me sauna?hehehe
parang bitin ang one day dyan! he he!
i would love to spend a day in a hotel doing nothing... but the practical side of me always wins. kaya ang labas, never pa. he he!
Living in luxury? whoa. ganda.
Gandaaaa! I miss reading your posts!
Parang bitin ang 1 night. At sa itsura mong yan, hindi ka na slim nian? Ganda ng pool! Actually lahat nagandahan ako!
Wow, its a very sweet stay indeed! :D Ang sarap mag-unwind kahit saglit at syempre magswimming sa pool.
Btw, ang cute naman ni Rero! ^__^ Ano ang breed nya?
super steal nga.. ang mura ha!!
Wow nkakatuwa nmn un indoor pool!
Thanks for sharing your experience in Discovery Suites
Natawa ako doon sa up next: Shangri- La, The Fort coming this 2014 :)
after a 16-hour flight from NYC, I usually stay for a night in Manila dahil na rin sa pagod - that bed is something I want to sleep in, sana may ganyang voucher din ako next year :)
level up! hotels naman na ngayon :)
grabe, di pa ko maka get over to this hotel, meron ka agad susunod. best shots kuha mo Chyng, laging inviting ang dating!
Ganyan talaga pag rich, pa-hotel-hotel na lang. Hehehe. Biro lang Ate Chyng. I miss you. Di ka na napapadaan sa blog ko ah. Pero okay lang, alam ko busy ka.
I've heard a lot of good things din naman sa Discovery Suites. And mas mura pa compared sa iba. Pero di ko talaga mapigilan mapatawa dun sa door lock. Hahaha.
Invited ba ako sa birthday ni Rero? Hahaha.
<3
sarap mag hotel paminsan minsan lalo na pag libre o discounted, namiss ko tuloy uber generous si madam, lagi nya ako isinasabit sa hotel escapade nila ng anak nya
naalala ko na dito nagstay yung mga foreigner namin na mga bossing while kami nasa Richmond hotel lang. ok pa rin basta libre at buffet yung breakfast! haha.
wow.ang ganda naman
Ang yaman ikaw na:) by the way it was nice to see you:)
That Jose Cuervo Special looks good after a hard day of touring.
ayan, baka dito na lang ako mag stay pag visit ko next month! i harbat mo rin ako ng voucher... LOL!
bet ko yong cut out detail sa shoulder ng top mo Chyng, faasyon!:-)
Nagbalik ang voucher sa Deal Grocer, but more expensive na siya. It's at P4,250 now. Sounds good still though. :)
We got to stay here also c/o DealGrocer and we were given free GCs at Terra Spa :) The room we stayed at is the same as yours, we would have wanted to stay in the newly renovated rooms pero they will charge an additional fee pa so we opted not to. But the room is nice nonetheless :)
I love reading your blog!
Hi chyng! may promo ulit sila ngayon sa dealgrocer, not as cheap as yours pero ok na so i bough 2 vouchers. excited na akerr... :D
so after oakwood, dito naman kami! yee!
