My mother who is 90 years old stayed at the Shangri la in Singapore.
We arrived smoothly were taken straight to a room, when i asked if the 2nd room was nearby I was told that we only had 1 room booked. After a brief discussion we were taken down to the lobby and they again said 1 room was booked. Upon further duscussion they rechecked and found yes we had 2 rooms, however both on different floors.
They then wanted a credit card to put money on hold even though both rooms were fully paid for. I subsequently found out that they'd put $7800 on hold when in fact I was told they should only have put $5000
This was a very stressful exhausying start to a holuday with my elderly mother which is not what we expected.
The rooms were lovely, staff attentive and 4 days later we were put on the sane floor, but the start was less than desired.
The television options were also very limited and repetative. Again I expected better than this. The concierge staff were amazingly helpful, especially Imran.
Inspite of all the planning, things go wrong.
