The structure of the photos for this Andaz staycation review<\/strong> is a virtual gallery of walking into the Studio Suite King<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Andaz Sunroom – free for all hotel guests. Beverages provided.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For those who only read the beginning and not the end, take note that the beginning was unhappy but there was a happy ending. (Not THAT kind of happy ending, you pervs.)<\/p>\n

Here’s the bad part: The check-in process was tedious, very tedious. We were there at about 1.30pm and were told that our suite would be ready soon and they would inform us when it was.<\/p>\n

\"\"

But we waited and waited but no one came. Everyone else who waited with us in the Sunroom had already gotten their rooms. We approached the service staff a few times but they said they dunno. They tried contacting the reception but the reception didn’t pick up so the staff left it at that, without giving us a definite answer.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Immediately to the right at the entrance of the suite is the first toilet, a guest toilet, which I jokingly told my friends, “You can only use the servant’s toilet.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The suite was ready slightly after 3pm when check-in time should be 3pm.\u00a0 I don’t mind checking in at 3pm but don’t tell us the suite would be ready soon – don’t make empty promises. Don’t let your guests wait. Just say, “sorry, your suite will be ready only at 3pm,” then at least we could go shop around the vicinity.<\/p>\n

\"\"
As you walk in the suite, there is a walk-in closet to the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s another bad part: There is no club lounge at Andaz. (They have a “sun room” for all hotel guests.) Usually if you book a suite in a hotel, you will get access to a club lounge that serves complimentary afternoon tea. Breakfast (usually better quality) is also served at the club lounge.<\/p>\n

But Andaz doesn’t have a club lounge – so what’s the point of having a suite here if there is no extra perks?<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The third negative: they closed the gym. I totally understand the reason they closed the gym (COVID19) but I find it strange that they closed the gym but not the pool. Their morning buffet breakfast was packed to the brim. So I wondered if closing the gym made any difference?<\/p>\n

\"\"
First TV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also: the knowledge that the gym was closed came when I was there. They should have emailed me in advance to inform me and offered something in return (maybe a day pass to a nearby gym?)<\/p>\n

Also also: Knowing about the closure of the gym came after the waiting, the poor service, and no club lounge—it just piled on the frustration. I’m not an impatient person and I am understanding, but when bad things just kept coming, it got very distressing when this was supposed to be a happy staycay.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Beside the bed is a sitting area, partitioned by sliding doors. Don’t you think the decor in the sitting area feels 70s?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am aware that this may come across spoilt and also aware that this is a first world problem, but when you’re paying a lot of money, you’d expect the best.<\/p>\n

But once we got to our suite, it felt great. A good view is always uplifting.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The bar fridge and drinks are in this sitting area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The suite is great, no complaints. Every usual amenities is present–from hairdryer to iron and safe.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Drinks are complimentary except for hard liquor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Behind the bed is a huge toilet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
There is something so luxurious about two sinks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
to the left of the sink, there is the 2nd toilet. Weirdly, there is a stool in this toilet. What’s it for? Like you want a person to see you defecate?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
To the right of the sink is the bathtub. You can see the Singapore Flyer from here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The window has privacy filter, so go ahead and be naked.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
