Never take a room ending in "10"
I arrived in singapore for a single night on business with my wife and 16 month-old daughter in tow. Upon arrival we were told our king bed request was only available in smoking rooms. After a bit of a do, they "upgraded" us to the club level, room #1510, and so began the worst night in a hotel ever. During the day, when you are coming in and out, or whilst the tv is on in the evening you don't notice but...: these rooms that end in 10 all abut the elevator shaft!! What that means is that all night long whenever someone uses the elevator, you hear the cables banging together, people talking, etc... Needless to say, my daughter kept getting startled out of sleep, as did we all. By the time we had discovered this issue, we had already unpacked everything, and set our daughter in for the night, so moving rooms just made no sense. The hotel staff was apologetic the next day, but admitted they knew about the noise issue from "many, many complaints" of previous guests --- absolutely unacceptable! Beware!
