Planning on staying in the metro over the long weekend coming up? Staycations these days, are considered an essential part of adulting. After all, working hard can be quite exhausting. Lucky for you, we went out to road test Citadines Millennium, located in Ortigas. The perfect vacay hotel for the hardworking you.

There were so many things about the hotel that actually made us want to stay longer than the usual weekender. We give you a few of what we loved the most:

1. Artsy interiors

Most hotels give you that stark cold, stiff vibe the moment you enter. Citadines Millennium though is different. Its cheery atmosphere exudes the happy feeling that’s definitely hard to ignore. The hotel’s interiors are one of the best we have seen yet. Each property has a different polish depending on its location and clientele. Millennium so far is our favorite. Hello, yellow!

2. Homey feels

Gotta admit hotels are often considered a luxury, and actually feeling like you’re at home can be a bit of a challenge. While it’s cozy and comfy, the feel of being at home isn’t just quite there. The ambiance at Millennium however is different, though. The rooms have this warm and fuzzy kind of feeling that invites you to just stay in and cuddle while you Netflix all day. Seriously. (Yep, we did just that!)

3. Amaaaazing rooms

We’re not exaggerating when we tell you that we absolutely fell in love with the rooms of Citadines Millennium. It looked exactly just like how we would want our own condo unit to look like! It had all the basic amenities (even a washing machine!) but was surprisingly still spacious enough to enjoy.

Oh, and we also loved their gorgeous lounge area (with a pool and spa nearby). Long staying guests can relax in this space of the hotel anytime throughout the day. Books are available for your reading pleasure, too.

4. Two thumbs up on service

Hotels boast of the service they provide their guests. It is after all, the bottom line of the work they do. Citadines Millennium is no stranger to this given that they are part of the Ascott Group, which happens to be a globally known brand in the hospitality industry. You can expect five-star customer service from a brand that is known and loved worldwide.

5. Delicious food!

If there’s one thing that we love about staycations, it would be the buffet breakfast. We always look forward to restful vacays with the family plus of course, the sumptuous food. Citadines Millenium has Relish Luxe Café (we’re doing a review on them soon) to thank for the yummy buffet breakfast. Wide variety of both local and international cuisines that you can choose from. In case you’re not checked-in, you can still avail of their hearty meals at an affordable price.

A weekender surely ain’t enough when you’re at the Millennium. You have to stay far longer than that.
