5. Sounds like it's pretty close to the airport. Any estimates on how long a taxi ride to the domestic and international terminals?

Thanks for any help!
1. Its a beautiful hotel with great service, nice club lounge. I was there 3 months ago and it was my third stay.
4. I paid for the cheapest room corp rate and got upgraded to the highest floor with club access (as a gold)
5. 5-10 minutes? The shuttle was super easy and convenient.

Can't answer your other Qs as I've only ever used it as an overnight with a morning connection to somewhere else.
But if you want to visit Manila then this is not the area I would want to stay.
Makati would be better, near the Intercontinental.
