Check-in is at 2pm. I arrived with a friend from the province very tired at 6am. Had breakfast at a nearby McDonalds while staff prepared a room. Allowed early check-in at 7am. Front desk staff very friendly and accommodating, Always greeted by the bell hops with a greeting and smile. Very nice lobby. Our suite was great! Very nice kitchen (fully equipped with frig., microwwave, coffeemaker, pots, dishes, utinsils, etc.), living area, desk, bedroom and bathroom. It was just like a 5 star hotel back in the U.S. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower. All the typical ammenities were included. The queen size bed was VERY comfortable. We didn't have an ironing board in the room and when asked for one, it was delivered in minutes. When also asked for extra sheets, they delivered them within minutes. Thinking we were cold, staff asked if we would like the temperature in our room to be adjusted. The location of this place is perfect! Within walking distance to SM Mega Mall and Robinsons shopping center, all within 1 to 2 blocks. No taxis needed, however, no problem in getting one. Eateries are everywhere, the Podium is right across the street from the hotel, Starbucks next door and also across the street, McDonalds and Shakeys Pizza a few steps away. The hotel is located in a not so busy street. We felt safe and secure in the hotel and walking the streets in the evening. OH MY, breakfast was included in the price of the room and we had a buffet breakfast on the 22nd floor that was to die for! Again staff was very pleasant! This hotel made an everlasting impression on me and next time I travel back to the Philippines with family, we will always stay here!!!

Discovery Suites is spitting distance from the ADB (which uses the hotel a lot). It's very convenient to 2 Starbucks, the Mega Mall, 7-11 and lots of restaurants. The rooms are little suites, with kitchen facilities and a very large bathroom with rain shower (low pressure) or hand held shower-attachment tub (no curtain can = wet floor, hot water supply is not limitless). There are 2 televisions with full cable packages and broadband internet for a fee ($ 15/day). Lighting in the desk area is rather weak (I had to unplug the desk lamp to plug in my laptop) and one could wish for a real lobby in which to wait for cars and people, but room-wise, it's a great location and very acceptable rooms, especially if visiting the ADB.

I have stayed at Discovery Suites four times. The service is great. They have a fine exercise facility. The suites are clean and comfortable. It is located close to SM Mega Mall and The Podium.
