They gave us a complimentary upgrade for our room and it ended up being on the top floor with two balconies. It was so kind and a nice add on for our first time in Singapore!

The staff were very helpful, John at the door & Jasmine at Reception went out of their way to assist me. The room was very small for a deluxe Balcony but ok for a few days. Great location
