We had never visited Singapore before and I think the overall stay in the city would have been much better if we had paid more and stayed somewhere decent.

This is very much a case of you get what you pay for... if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower then perhaps this will do.
The rooms are old and run down, they are not that clean at all (there was also rubbish on the floors in the hallway) there were blood drops on our bathroom floor and cigarette burn marks in most of the furniture.
The staff at reception had no idea about the typical tourist attractions - we asked about the best way to travel to Clarke Quay or to the cable car or the Singapore flyer and Sentosa Island and they didnt know where we meant or what we were talking about.
There were no extra pillows or blankets in the room - just a base sheet and a thin old bed spread and 2 pillows on each bed.
We picked this hotel for the simple reason that we were travelling with our kids aged 12 and 9 and we could all stay in the same room together. Now I had read reviews that there were working girls in the area........ what i didnt realise was that there wouldnt be just a handful of them but more like CROWDS of them filling the sidewalks on all sides of the street at the entire intersection. Its like the Royal Easter Show. And whilst they were respectful to us as a family & friendly to our kids as we pushed thru the crowds to get into the motel at night, there were just sooooo many of them and the hotel staff allow all their pimps to hang in the grounds of the motel and around the main door (so they can collect their take as the girls leave the motel) ...sadly it really DOES rent rooms by the hour and the girls are there ALL night (sometimes in the day too) so given that we were on the 3rd floor and a corner room with two windows, we could hear them talking all night and the food carts that fed them and we could also hear them once inside the rooms entertaining clients and then the constant noise of housekeeping cleaning the rooms 24/7 to prepare for the next clients - its more like a brothel than a motel!

No little convenience stores or take aways anywhere nearby - just not a convenient place to stay at all. Really really hated it...
