Value Hotel Woes?

Value Hotel

So I stayed at the Value Hotel, near Orchard Road, for a business trip. The room was fine, clean enough. But the Wi-Fi… oh, the Wi-Fi. It was slower than molasses in January. I tried everything –… more

Yeah, the wifi at that Value Hotel is notoriously bad. I stayed there a couple of years ago and had the same issue. Absolute nightmare for work. I ended up using my phone's hotspot, which ate through my data plan pretty quickly, but at least I could get some work done. They really need to upgrade their internet infrastructure; it's unacceptable for a hotel in that area, especially one that caters to business travelers. It's not just bad luck, it seems to be a consistent problem.

Let's be real, sneaking into the MBS infinity pool is a long shot. Security's pretty tight. They check room keys religiously. Your "forgot my key" act might work on a tired bellhop, but not the pool staff. They see a lot of tourists trying their luck. Your best bet? Book a room. It's expensive, yeah, but the view and the experience itself are worth it, if the photos are anything to go by. Think of it as an investment in an incredible memory. Plus, you'll have legitimate access to all the amenities, not just the pool. Trying to sneak in just adds unnecessary stress...and potential embarrassment. Save yourself the hassle.
