As a frequent trouble maker in Singapore, I usually stay at the Westin Stamford or the Westin Plaza. However, until they turned into the Swissotel and Raffles respectively, I havent tried them until a couple of days ago.
Firstly, the Swissotel Stamford. When I first entered into the room, I thought to myself, "What were they thinking?". The bed was hard (apparantly it is good for my back but I don't really care) and uncomfortable. The room seems to be permanently "dimmed" and not very well decorated. As far as I can remember, the Westin Stamford has far more superior rooms.
Next, the Raffles The Plaza. Great job with the re-decoration of the lobby. But again, what were they thinking. The bed was just as uncomfortable and the rooms were shabbily decorated. I still enjoyed the automatic "curtain-thingy" but man they are ugly.
I know this is not a very good trip report but I would like a second opinion on this issue. For FTs that have stayed in both the Westin and the Raffles products, do you feel the same way? or am I just TOO biased?
