My Stand? Like what I have read from many reviews, the Grand Plaza Park Hotel lived up to its friendly image. (Thanks to Emily at the Club Lounge, and Albert, the Filipino attendant at the lobby). This is the most noteable observation, and a lasting impression. For business trips, this is the best hotel to stay at - economical compared to same grade hotels... and what can I say... I enjoyed the broadband internet access - which was free! It was a good experience all throughout except of course for some "not-so-bad" things that I saw, but could be seen as areas that need improvement: the variety of buffet breakfast for one. I would love to come back again, so I would be happier to get another good rate, and some membership points.
The Good: 1. Complimentary broadband internet access 2. Very friendly, helpful, and accommodating staff 3. Good rates via Agoda 4. Proximity to the city area 5. Good housekeeping procedures 6. The food was good
The Bad: 1. The shower and bathtub were not separate (I found this so inconvenient) 2. I wanted to stay longer and enjoy the Agoda rate but the rate was almost doubled. (Other hotels would offer a lower rate for extension, but I was treated as a walk-in guest) 3. Good food, but very less variety 4. There were only a few power sockets 5. No complimentary drinking water
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The hotel is in close proximity to the City Hall MRT, which makes it much easier for you to go around the other distant parts of Singapore. The Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, Raffles, Singapore River, Singapore Flyer, Chjimes are must-sees and the nearest areas for dining.
