I find it very surprising that they made the rooms so tiny in an area of Singapore which is neither a business (i.e. Downtown/CBD) or shopping (i.e. Orchard Road) hotspot - other than being brand new, what is the attraction of having to essentially stay in a broom cupboard, in an area of town where you will have to get an Uber everywhere?

The Warehouse Hotel (which is just across the bridge from the IC) has the same issue in terms of location, but at least the rooms above the lowest category are bigger and the place is quite clearly a boutique hotel, rather than being aimed at mainstream demand.
