I think you will do fine with the Oriental in SIN, eventhough it doesnt quite have the stature of the MO in say HKG or BKK. The advantage is that the lower profile keeps the room rates down, and I believe they have done a good job with the refurbishments. Dont forget to book a room with harbour view

Have now stayed twice at the MO in SIN. Once was pre-refurb and it was simply terrible! Second was after refurb, as I was given 2 free nights( due to first stay problems). After refrub it seems to have become better, but I wouldn't say it was in the top ranked hotels in SIN.......Many hotels are often overlooked because they don't have "the brand name" associated with them..........but if you look around you will find much better Luxe hotels than the MO SIN!

If the MO is not that good. What other hotels can I try for a good Club floor and good service?
How is the Herizon Club at the Shangri La?
or
The Club Floor at the Pan Pac?
The Club Floor is probalby our #1 priority.
This is both my dad's and my first trip to Asia and I want to make this a fun and special trip for his 50th B-day.
Thanks

Getting confused there now Benny8444? 
This 'lacking' or 'incomplete' quality of some of Singapore's top hotels in providing the ultimate 5-star experience is exactly the concern being outlined on this thread below:

To add to your building confusion, there's only one choice for me in SIN. It's a club harbor view room at the Ritz Carlton
