Mac got a membership with Accor which is the group of hotels where Sofitel, Novotel etc. belongs in.
Since it has been harder to go out of town often, a staycation is the next best thing and the Accor membership provides discounts on food and room rates provided you book really early.
We stayed in Novotel in Cubao during my Birthday in August and in Sofitel in Pasay during Zeke's birthday just this weekend.
Novotel is newer and if you want to go roam Cubao, Gateway is just walking distance.
The place is family friendly, they give inflatable frisbees to children. In their 9th floor, there is a gym, beside it is a play place for children (which enjoyed so much, he cried so hard when we were leaving already). If you are checked in, you are entitled to an hour free in the kid's area.Their pool is also just the right size.
We only had breakfast in The Food Exchange and the selection was just right.I think we paid 3,000 for one night.

Sofitel is the bigger hotel although much older than
Novotel. Rate per night was more expensive but we got this free courtesy
of the Accor membership already.
The pool area is much bigger with slides for children and for adults. The view of Manila Bay is amazing too.
They say the best hotel buffet in Manila is at Spiral in Sofitel and it really is.
