Picture This !
Marina Bay Resort was somewhat of a disappointment. Don't believe every picture you see. The staff were nice but the condition of the facility was old and outdated. You were charged 25.00 for early check-in, yet the parking lot was empty when we arrived. Check-in time was 4 p.m. and check-out was 10 a.m. What's the use of staying here? Parking lot was empty most of the time. We saw only a few people around. View from the poolside overlooking the marina was terrific! Accommodations weren't so good. Bed was comfortable. Charging 5.00 for lost wristbands and 1.00 for lost rooms keys was concerning. No one was available during early morning hours. The gym area didn't seem clean and well kept. The pool was refreshing, though. The place needs a total make-over. It does have incredible potential.

Was quiet. Staff were cordial. Front desk has set hours for staff to be present. Having to bring bath linens to the office to exchange for clean was something that one had to set aside time to do. Floor had dried mud at the door when entering room and didn’t come up with our attempts(no mop). Asked for it to be cleaned up and it didn’t happen.

Could be a great hotel!
Hotel could use many updates! We stayed for the convenience of location right next to a venue for a wedding. The hotel is overly perfumed by plug ins to damper another smell. We had to switch rooms because our first room was small and the smell was bad and perfumed over top. New room was much better! Pool was nice and the grounds have tons of potential! We were told there are new owners now and I do hope they continue to clean the grounds up and make it into a great place. We still had a great time!

Never Again
We normally stay at a Marriott or Hilton, but this time we figured we would stay someplace else. We saw they had a pool, arcade room and corn hole, so we figured it would be more hip. When we checked in the lady wrote 213A on our cards but 231A on our map. We went to 231A, second floor, no elevators. I have balance issues. Key wouldn't work, so my husband went back to the front desk. It's 213A on the other side. Down the steps, drove to the other side, up the steps. The room was set at 90 degrees, the bathroom was a toilet, sink, tub. No conters. There wasn't any doors on the closets, one had carpet tacking strip and glue but no carpet. The paint on the walls looked like a child did it. The TV and cable box were unplugged. After plugging them in, the cable said "service interrupted. Call cox to restablish". By then I told my husband I was hot, claustrophobic in the bathroom and now we couldn't watch movies. No complementary water, no mini fridge. I wanted to go home. We stayed an hour. Told the front desk to charge us for that night, but refund the next.

The room next-door connected to my Room You can see up underneath the door and can hear the people in the other room, just like they was in your room. The room did not even have a refrigerator or a microwave. I would never go back there again. They don’t even bring towels they don’t even room service

My was room hadn't been cleaned upon arrival. The dirty sheets were piled on the bed, there was poo stains in the toilet and dried toothpaste in the sink. They didn't have any clean towels and gave me hand towels to dry off with. I had to personally put clean sheet on my bed, but they didn't have any clean pillow cases, so I slept with out a pillow. It was the worst experience I've ever had staying in a motel. Don't stay here...
