I normally stay in Stone House Manila but being adventurous I decided to stay in their other branch Stone House Quezon City. So I could explore the other places aside from Intramuros and Baywalk.
I never realize that this City has a lot of things to offer they have so many spa to go to. The Morato area which is more of the rstaurant area has a varied restaurant to offer from Spanish like CASA ARMAS, Japanese like KIMONOKEN, Chinese Restaurant (there so many to name) and other coffee shops aside from Starbucks. They also have a great night life here from night clubs to discos not to forget the music bar in Stone House Quezon City (great jazz bar!!!!!).
For day time travellers I would recommend Wild Life and University of the Philippines (the best school in the Philippines). They also have good shopping area near in Quezon City especially Gateway Mall.
By the way I would sincerely recommend Stone House for the wonderful service they offered (from the front dest to the chamber maids). They might not have all the facilities that five star could offer but the service is like a 5 STAR HOTEL. I really felt at home.
