Just came back with a week's stay.

It was booked on points (for lowest room) but got upgraded to room with balcony overlooking Cubbon Park. Given the busy street below, I didn't spend much time on balcony but room was pretty big and modern.

Service was outstanding by all of the staff. From room service to housekeeping and dining establishments on the property.

Breakfast buffet in restaurant (lobby level) was over the top good. Brekkie spread in lounge was smaller but still decent. Cocktails in lounge during the evening.

Pool setting leaves a bit to be desired. It's all good during the day but the indian food restaurant (Spice) is setup around the pool at dusk. Makes the pool area a bit formal to use in evening hours when it's cooler.

Overall - I rate the property highly on aesthetic and service value. Probably #2 on my Marriott list (#1 being JW Hong Kong). However in terms of value this property in UNBEATABLE! It's only a category 3 whereas JW HK is cat 8. I was able to book my stay using pointsavers so it's was an amazing redemption.
