The staff is really superb! Nothing is impossible. The room was light, big windows, a really beautiful shower/bath/toilet room.
You can connect your pc/mp3 to cable straight to tv and speakers in bath-room. (no need to take my own and struggle with the aux connection behind the tv!)
A nice desk for working BUT:
They charge you 30 dollars for internet/day. Remember this is 2006. The price for the room is 500 sing dollars. Just stupid to charge extra for this basic service. (Pan-Pacific Hotel club rooms has this complimentery.)
A well filled mini-bar BUT:
They charge you for those 1 liter water bottles outside the bar. This is singapore, a country with a humid, really warm climate. If you don't drink you go dry... (This should def. be complimentary, at least 1-2 bottles a day) [again Pan-Pacific Hotel club rooms has this complimentery, for a room rate more than 100 bucks less]
The gym is open 24 hours. You can go for their SPA, you can have massage etc. You can sit in their lounge and relax BUT:
They charge you 48 dollars if you want a small cocktail.
[again again Pan-Pacific Hotel club rooms has this free in their club lounge]
Conclusion:
I do not actually care about the extra costs, it is the principle! it gives me a feel of greed=a lot hidden costs that I don't like.
In fact it annoyes me to the point that I will not return as a guest to this otherwise superb hotel.
