Value Hotel Woes?

fmd_good Value Hotel

So I stayed at this Value Hotel, right near the airport. Thought it'd be a budget-friendly, quick overnight before my flight. Turns out, the airport shuttle was... unreliable. Like, *really* unreli… more

Oof, that Value Hotel airport shuttle sounds like a nightmare. I feel your pain. Next time, look into Grab. It's basically Uber/Lyft but hugely popular in Singapore. It’s usually much cheaper than taxis, and you can book it in advance to guarantee a ride. Plus, you'll get a price upfront, so no surprises. Might be worth considering even if you were to stay somewhere else near the airport. It's reliable enough for early morning flights, unlike some… ahem… less reliable shuttle services.

Yeah, I've been to Les Bouchons Rochester a few times. The food is amazing, no argument there. But the service can be… frantic, to put it mildly. It's definitely a popular spot, so they're always slammed. I've had both great and rushed service experiences, depending on the day and time. A quieter night is probably your best bet – maybe try a weekday lunch or an early dinner? Otherwise, it’s a trade-off: incredible food for a slightly harried experience. Worth it, IMO, but manage your expectations!

Totally get that. Frantic service is a real mood killer, even with amazing food. Weekday lunch sounds like a plan! Thanks for the heads-up; I'll definitely try to go then. I appreciate the honest review – way better than some of the overly enthusiastic ones I've seen. Helps to know what to expect.
