Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
good size bedroom convenient location dated hotel old carpet
the bedroom and bathroom were a good size. the bathroom included both a shower and a bath. the location was very convenient , with lots of food and bars within a short walk.
the hotel seemed somewhat dated. the carpet looked quite old and dirty. i also noticed that the lifts were rather slow , which slightly detracted from the overall experience.

Decent stay near Clarke Quay
great location pool area train ride road noise broken window poor breakfast
The location was great. I found several attractions like Chinatown and Gardens by the Bay accessible with a short train ride. Clarke Quay MRT station was very close to the premises. The big pool was also an added bonus. I enjoyed swimming.
My room had a broken window, I noticed road noise. The window needed replacing but a temporary fix did not last. I did not get a suggestion of a changing room. The breakfast was like a rugby scrum and I had to sit with other people.
