First upcoming stay at the hotel (Artisan Suite) and things are already going south
. Got an email from the hotel telling me:
What this supposed to mean, no suites at all? Found someone better? Technical maintenance for a stay in 3 week sounds fishy to me.
. Got an email from the hotel telling me:

I stayed on 2/28/23 as a gold member for 3 days
no room upgrade.
no welcome drink
no Welcome Amenities
the breakfast was very poor, some ibis hotels have a much better breakfast
and I think many reviews are fake.
employees approach you and give you a card with their name on it and ask you to write a good review for them.
I stayed in this hotel 4 years ago as Mercure Hotel.
things were much better then
no room upgrade.

Well after some probing they offered a smaller suite but said I might be disturbed by noise and works. So in the end I canceled which is a shame as I was looking forward to finally staying there (if @Goldorak recommends it must be good)
The Artisan's loss is the Raffles' gain.

I never stayed at the Artisan since it was rebranded (I stayed twice when it was a Mercure and it was great). Enjoy the Raffles !
