I have no idea where the CFO training is around there, Claudeth did hers in Cebu. She did stay at the Bayview right across from the U.S. embassy and liked it. Some hotels even have shuttles to and from the airport.

I had my CFO seminar in Katipunan, Cubao as it is the easiest access to my place because of the LRT2. If you want to have the CFO seminar in the same place, I would suggest getting a hotel in Ortigas area so you can use the MRT to Cubao then get to the St. Mary's Euphrasia Foundation for your seminar by LRT. From Ortigas you also get to NAIA about 30 mins. Hope it helps...

In between Airport and CFO, you could try Trader's Hotel, in Roxas Blvd. Just go to the airport very early coz the traffic is REALLY bad.

If you're planning to have your CFO in the quirino office, you can stay at any hotels in the manila-roxas blvd area. The ones that come to mind, that are near both Quirino and Airport, are Trader's Hotel, Diamond Hotel, G hotel, Hyatt Casino. Are you done with the seminar? Because the seminar is done in a different building in Taft Avenue just opposite La Salle Taft. There's also a hotel just opposite that building, geeezzz...i can't remember the name....something like The Taft Tower or something :P

Send me a text, maybe we can get the CFO stamp together :)
