Well, during daytime, you can find a licenced taxi outside of the MRT station without problem. But, it will be quite difficult to find a taxi around hotel area. If you do need a taxi, make sure to call FD 30 mins prior leaving so they can prepare a taxi for you. And, it is true that never to take an unlicensed taxi. Those taxis will charge you some nonsense prices.
As for the service thing, I dont really care that much. After all, this is China, you dont find good service that easily.
