Thank you for your assistance with finding a taxi to take me back to Changi Airport on Thu Feb 13 early in the morning. When the room key card did not work, you were very helpful in replacing it. I returned both key cards under the glass door when I left on Thu February 12, 2026. The shower, toilet and water, lights and Air Conditioning all worked very well.

Excellent service and communication from front desk. Room was only to be clean once in a week, but they came by twice! Comfortable bed, cozy room with the necessities to cook, microwave and refrigerate. Standing shower, but be sure to click on the water heater, as it can be turned on and off. A/C is perfect temperature. Could use a paint job and nicer floor tiles to enhance the cleanliness of the room. But nonetheless, the hotel is clean and comfortable. There is no lift/elevator. USB outlet for charging if you forgot the charging adapter with the correct prongs. Overall, a great stay!
