117 SGD or $86 for extra person in Marriott Singapore?
Never seen this exactly before. Trying to book three adults into the Marriott Singapore (not a lot of options there). Room rate is 320 SGD or 40K points per night, but either way I do it, adding a third person results in a 117SGD charge for the third person. That's $86 per night. No, that's not a charge for a roll away, nor is it a charge for lounge access. That's because I'm adding a third person.
Now I know the rooms are small. I guess they may be charging more because they have to get you into a room size that can accommodate 3 people. But have any of you seen this before? Any advice?
My options are limited. I have a few SGP points, and a few IHG points, not enough for a 3 day stay. Although pricey, I don't have an issue with the base rate, but the add-on price for the third person.

You should contact the hotel - telling them that you are Plat to see if they wave the third person charge. I had this added on too - it's Marriott Reservation system according to a FD at a CY. If you say something they will wave it, if you don't be prepared to pay.

Saw this in an article today:
"
Brand new poolside cabanas line the outdoor swimming pool, restored pool pavilions provide casual social spaces, and the award-winning Pool Grill restaurant is ever-present by the hotel's re-opened Level 5 pool.
Pool Terrace Rooms also received a facelift this summer. These elegant and spacious rooms provide guests with direct access to the newly renovated pool. However, these brilliant rooms have a resort-style allure all their own. The décor is clean and cozy, furnishings are state-of-the-art, and each room features glorious floor to ceiling windows that fill the room with light and create seamless harmony with clear Singapore nights. Rooms open up to their own veranda, unfurling stunning views of the Singapore hotel's swimming pool as it glistens in the sun or shimmers under the stars.
Sharon's note (not sure if anything was done to the Pool Grill in the renovation, but they're touting that too).
And they have a promo going: The Perfect Couples Getaway. Now through December 31st, 2015, the Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel wants to help couples create a brilliant experience and make incredible memories. The hotel's Couples Getaway Special starts at $898 per room, per night. Included in this thoughtful package is a one night stay in a Pool Terrace Room, signature welcoming cocktails for two, an America breakfast and champagne for two -- served on the terrace (or in the room), a 3-course dinner at the poolside cabana -- complete with wine and romance, and personal butler service throughout the stay. Couples can book their getaway at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel...g-plaza-hotel/.
Cheers.
