I normally stay at the Armada Hotel which is very near Windy Ridge but I noticed that Windy Ridge was a brand new hotel so I stayed there for one night on a recent trip to Manila. As I said, this is a brand new hotel so everything is in really good condition. I was given a complimentary drink, fresh squeezed orange juice, on my arrival. Additionally, my room rate included a free breakfast which was very good. A fried egg, two hot dogs (very typical in the Philippines), hash browns and toast. My two complaints about the hotel would be the water pressure in the shower and the tv cable options. There were no U.S. news channels which most hotels offer with their cable package. For those that don't know the area, it is a tough area, Malate. But I am familiar with the area so I knew what to expect. It is within walking distance to the U.S. Embassy (15 minutes) and Robinson Mall (15 minutes) and a myriad of restaurants and night clubs to choose from.
