I was recently invited to the opening of the newest boutique hotel in Quezon City. Japanese-inspired and run by a very young student entrepreneur Mika Singson Mendoza, iSuites is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from Gateway Mall, Shopwise Supermarket, the LRT Araneta-Cubao Station, Bus Terminals to the provinces and the Smart Araneta Coliseum. You can choose from 12 different room types in iSuites (scroll down below for a lot of pictures) and all rooms have free WiFi access (wee!), air-conditioned, free breakfast (yey!), cable TV, hot and cold shower, safety deposit box and minibar. There is also an elevator, security, the Tatami restaurant, covered parking downstairs and complimentary pickup to and from the Partas Cubao Terminal to iSuites. The only thing I would want more for iSuites is more lights in the rooms. I like the big rooms very much, particularly the Sake and Geta rooms, and it is perfect for groups of friends and up to a family of 8 (cheaper and with kitchens and living rooms too) while the small ones are good for both short and long-stays (rates may get cheaper)!
Let me give you a photo tour so that you can choose your rooms wisely =) It is arranged from cheapest to most expensive (but most expensive ones can accommodate more and has more rooms). The names of the rooms are Japanese icons =)
