1st night stay in Singapore's hotel...........

Like what my mother told me "没有家住啊? 为什么要花钱去住酒店?!" HAHAHA! And I explained to her why I wanna stay in a local hotel. Just for the sake of experience and if any foreigners were to ask me which is a good hotel to stay in, at least I can tell them I stayed in **** hotel before. -_-" Lame explanations but too bad. ^_^!!!!

So for my first time, I chose Marina Bay Sands (MBS), because I get to enjoy special rates! Don't think I will spend 400+ bucks for one night stay. It's not as though I'm earning big bucks too. -_-""

The reception desk to check in. 

There's 3 Towers in MBS, and the check in desk is in Tower 1, which is closer to the Casino. And while waiting for the queue, a welcome drink is served. It's a common practice among most of the hotels nowadays, but this is the first time, I drank Champagne. LOL!

Nice and sweet. 

Once the checked in are done, we have to walk all the way back to Tower 3 for our rooms. That's the hassle part, but no choice. I supposed because we got the room at a discounted rate, so we have to make a longer way to the room. 

We didn't get a high level room, but I kind of like the room number. :)

The door which we came through, and a full length mirror which I <3 a lot! :))) And the king-sized bed which isn't that hard as it looks. :)) 

I went to try out their tv, and the screen that greeted me had my name on it. HAHAHA! How classy is that? :))) As usual, they have cable tvs and some other channels. Besides that, they have a list of other categories for you to choose. However, each movies from these categories are chargeable :)) No $ No movie! HAHAHA! And guess what? There's the ADULT categories. LOL!

I like hotel rooms that have 贵妃椅 rather than those coffee table and chairs. :)) 

Overall, I think it's just a normal room, with all the necessity. So I feel that it's a bit over-priced considering I have stayed in better hotels outside Singapore at a much lower rate. HAHAHA! But then, one special thing about this room is that they have huge bathroom! -_-""    

This is just the basin only. 

The shower room and the toilet are separated. :) Maybe you can't see how big bathroom is from the pictures. But I can assured you that it's REALLY big. And the door do not have a lock. It's those push-&-close-door type so you might feel a bit insecure while using the bathroom. HAHAHA! 

Indeed, they have a large collection of drinks in the mini bar and of course they're chargeable. The 1 thing special about it is that once you touch and move the drinks, it's considered SOLD! -_-"" HAHAHAHA! Very high tech, and scary. LOL! 

If you see clearly, the sensor is actually the black pad under the can of red bull. We were already pre-warned during check in by the personnel in regards to the mini-bar. So after opening the door of the fridge to have a look, the rest of the night we didn't dare to go near to it. LOL!


Breakfast is not inclusive for this stay. But we thought since already spent so much on the room, we might as well also dine in the hotel and see where the standard is. LOL! So we just picked a place to eat our breakfast before going up the Sky Garden to enjoy the morning breeze.

The friendly manager helped us to get a table fast so that we have enough to go up and play before we have to check out at 12 noon.

International buffet style breakfast, usual food served in most hotels. The only thing I went to get at least 3 times is the scrambled eggs. LOL! It's really really nice, buttery and smooth. YUMILICIOUS! But overall, the food is just average, nothing too special about it. And it costs a bomb. 

If I didn't calculate wrongly, the room + the breakfast = 1 night standard rate. LOL! 

After breakfast, went straight up to the Sky Garden.

The panoramic view of esplanade, floating platform and all the tall buildings in the CBD area. :))))

 

I'm actually looking down at the Singapore Flyer. LOL! :))) The temperature upstairs is very cooling, somewhat like Genting temperature. Very cooling even though the Sun is high up in the sky. On a cloudless day, you'll be able to see super far away. 

The panoramic view of the Sky Garden swimming pool. :)) It's really a regret that I didn't bring my swim suit along. I totally forgot about it! -___-"" And only hotel guests are allowed to swim there. So even if I buy a ticket up to the Sky Garden again, I don't get to swim there. 

 

We spent about an hour up there, enjoying the scenery and breeze. Till the Sun gets too hot for us to endure. LOL!

 

One last shot before checking out! :))

Ohh, and one more thing that's quite special. It's their lift. You've to insert the hotel card in order to press the button to the room level. Quite a good idea so as unwanted visitors won't be able to go up the hotel as and when they like. HAHAHA!

Once we checked out, we went back to take a Sampan boat ride in the middle of the Convention Center. LOL! I think this concept is similar to the of the Venetian Hotel in Macau. 

That's about all I have for the 1 night stay in MBS. HAHAHA! If you really have lots of money and nothing better to do with it, then I suggest you can book a room and stay there. But like what my mum says, what's the point of staying in the hotel when you've a house here. :))) 

I totally agree with her now.
