Was offered this as SPG Gold at check in. No problems and very professional staff all round 
Also the Lobby Lounge has a good (and reasonably priced) wine tasting menu. For SGD20nett you'd get 3 glasses x 200 ml of either red or white. Great value for Singapore and even better with the 25% SPG discount !

Just check-in today, I arrived at 9am, leaving luggage there and came back from Asia Square during lunch, I didn't realize the time, but during check-in I discovered that it was still 12:XX, no question and no any surcharge on this. Asked for 4PM checkout and was admitted in a second.
Room upgraded to sea view room (I'm just Gold, so not expecting something like suite), pretty good!

Two nice stays at Westin
Would agree with MSPeconomist's assessment of the Westin. We just stayed there for a three night stay and then shortly thereafter for a four night stay and had good experiences both times. It was our first stays at this relatively new Westin having stayed at the Sheraton four years ago. We liked the location better than the Sheraton. Metro nearby. Hawker place nearby. Food court in connecting floor between the two Asia Square Towers and open all week but not on weekends. Can walk to Marina Bay and see the views, lights, and light show at night. Get some iced honey milk tea at the Old Tea Hut in the nearby Marina Link Mall! Service by front desk staff and Executive Lounge staff was wonderful. They were impressive with their eagerness to help you and make your stay great. Breakfast buffet was impressive. Food servings in Executive Lounge were above average. Only downsides we found - pool was not as warm as it should be and the the immediate area, the Asia Square Towers, are dead on the weekend - though again, not too far to walk or metro to ChinaTown, Merloin/Marina Bay, the Gardens by the Bay, and the Marina Sands Hotel.

i submitted a "complain" about the Westin Singapore did not want to honor the 4pm check out, and this is the reply I got.
Personally I rather disappointed on the reply. The agent is putting the burden to the guest to know the benefits and in case the hotel does not give the benefit, the guest should contact SPG.
There is no effort (at least on the reply) that SPG mentioned that they will investigate and ensure the hotel and its staffs are properly trained and aware of the benefits that need to be the guest.
What happen if the guest is not aware about the benefit that he should entitle? The burden should be on the hotel not on the guest.

Even though the hotel was rather full during the Chinese New Year week (I checked with a dummy booking), neither the lounge nor the pool were at all crowded. What a great pool, at least on a par with W Hong Kong. And water not too warm

Thanks! :P
After reading the threads, I still haven't figured out what DO stands for... or is it a "do" as in "let's have a do"...?

I know they are two different target audience properties, but does anyone have comments on the Westin vs. the St. Regis? I've always stayed at the St. Regis, and have an upcoming trip where I'm considering trying the Westin.
The St. Regis is actually cheaper by a marginal amount on the dates I'm visiting, but I've never scored an upgrade as a PLT there in about 5 stays.

Really? I don't know if I've ever really had a problem there other than lack of SPG status entitlements.
There is a certain deuchery of clientele that show up in the evening in their cookie cutter super cars. And there seems to be a parade of prostitutes, but other than that....
I stay there primarily for the location. It is relatively quiet and calm, and I like to walk to the Botanical Garden.
