So how much for those rides? 40SGD each way in average? I really cant see how 2hrs extra commute and a hotel at maybe half the price might be worth that..
For business I often booked the Park Regis in SG. Got an all incl rate at 189 SGD. Incl breakfast. I rate the Park Regis higher than the DT JB.

I didnt mentioned RM600 (someone else?) - I usually book it for below 300
Anyway I dropped the DT and going with the Renaissance next week. Wish me luck. If anyone is in JB drop me a message for a small meetup (also can in Singapore)
During high price season like F1 it obviously makes sense. I stayed at some "properties" during those times that indeed were borderline (funnily enough one with a top breakfast)
Those 15 RM/$ are for pure causeway/to MRT crossing?

RM 15 is from Larkin Taxi stand to the JB- SG taxi stand in Queen street Bugis in a shared Taxi! You can try to prebook Grab Hitch which is RM 20++.

noticed the executive lounge evening cocktail has improved after the new GM took over. and also heard feedback that its harder to get upgrades for G, but the property has been very kind to upgrade me to suite on the day itself.

upcoming stay this week ... wondering if the hotel connected to any malls ? TR reviews state 2 malls within 5 minute walk ... but not sure if these require zipping across roads ?
