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 was quite old and dirty. i also noticed that the lifts were rather slow , which slightly detracted from the overall experience.

riverside location generous workspace immaculate space culinary options
the location proved really good, placing me steps from clarke quay's vibrant atmosphere. my room offered a generous workspace, perfect for handling quick emails. housekeeping services maintained an immaculate space daily. the on-site restaurants presented diverse culinary options... all quite satisfying.

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.
