Who's to blame when we waited for 2 1/2 hours just to get a hotel room? We booked this festive staycation since August. We want to try to celebrate holiday with the view of Marina Bay and we are happy to find and reserved a hotel deal at Marina Mandarin by Meritus Group. We arrived here around 2:00pm for checking in but the rooms were not yet ready. Almost 3 hours of waiting...finally! We are currently now in the room, resting, later we wiil dip in their pool. :) Have a happy holidays guys!! See you next week.

If that was the case , didn't they give you both a complimentary meal for waiting that long ? I like it that you are always like honeymooners . Keep it up . By the way your new profile picture i beautiful and so is the picture here . How nice you got yourself a photographer in your husband .

As we still do not have a children, we want to maximize our time with each other po. Hehe! We are waiting to their lounge that offers a free drinks but we do not bother. haha! We are annoyed that time. But after they read our blog, they gave us a complimentary stuffed toy! Thanks po again for the compliment. I always tell to my husband to take a photo of me with love. Hehe.. That is maybe the reason why he always have a good shot of me.

The waiting time is really long. It can be tiring for waiting even though you are sitting in the hotel lobby. Hope you are enjoying your holidays now!

@wiLLmaH Yes. Sometimes I find it's quite pointless to set a time for some people, as they are "forever" late. Perhaps when we set the time for those people, we should tell them 2 hours earlier!

That is only for one day haha! You bet, that is why I hate late people. It tires me, even waiting for a flight.

Actually you could have deposited the luggage with the counter, and asked them for the card to go up to the pool. In this case, you need not waste time.

@wiLLmaH sometimes a cold pool can feel really good when it is hot outside.

That has happened to us before. We rented a little cottage on Tybee Island and was there at the time tey told us to be there, and it was not ready, they were still cleaning. We loved the cabin and also use the Mermaid cottages every time we go there, but was upset because we were so tired and really wanted to rest, but had to find a place to go and do something while they finished cleaning. Love to you, have a great day.
