A Remarkable Stay at Microtel by Wyndham UP Technohub

Over the course of 7 years, the month of July remains to be my most dreaded month. Ever since I started my work as a school nurse, it has always been my busiest month with all the preparations for the school's Foundation Day and the celebration of the Nutrition Month, which I am always in charge of. In fact, this year was more challenging as another responsibility was added to my existing tasks, something I half-heartedly accepted and questioned in the beginning. However, all of these worries seem to not matter because I have something really exciting to look forward to at the end of the month.

Months ago, I received an invitation to attend my cousin's wedding in Quezon City. I'm not a big fan of weddings, but I gave in since I also want to give myself a much-needed break or rather, a reward. I was having second thoughts whether to push through with this or not but I think the universe conspired to make things happen, leaving me with no choice but to go along with it. And so, I'm ending the month of July with an exciting vacation.

On the first night of my Manila 2014 vacation, I checked in at the Microtel by Wyndham UP Technohub branch. The 13th of its kind in the Philippines, this branch is relatively new and still in its soft opening. Its location among the UP-AyalaLand Technohub vicinity makes this hotel a very conducive place to stay for working professionals, students, businessmen or just plain travelers. Nearby attractions include the Quezon Memorial Shrine, The National Museum, La Mesa Eco Park and the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus.

This six-story structure fronting Commonwealth Avenue has 120 guestrooms, classified into 2-Queen Bed Room or 1 Queen Bed-Suite, with rooms either having the city view or the garden expanse. Unlike the one we have here in Davao, this branch has a modern facade, atypical of the usual European theme in some Microtel branches I've seen.

Pioneering in the no-frills, back to basics type of hotel industry, Microtel by Wyndham at UP Technohub got everything covered with its chiropractor-approved queen-sized mattresses, big and fluffy pillows, individually-controlled airconditioning unit, 32" cable LED TV, telephone, electronic keycard entry system, safety deposit box and of course, a high-speed LAN and WIFI internet access. In this age of techonology, I consider the internet as a basic necessity and I am very glad that the WIFI connection inside my hotel room didn't disappoint.

The room is quite spacious for a solo traveler like me but considerably good enough for couples or even a family of 4. It also has a small working desk, and one good thing I really like about the room was the availability of numerous electrical sockets that charging gadgets at the same time did not impose a problem.
