My recent stay at this hotel was disappointing, with issues ranging from unclean sheets to inadequately maintained rooms. I appreciated the staff's effort to find a suitable room for me, but the overall quality left much to be desired. Despite the beautiful views and promise of space, the musty smell and dated furniture made for an unsatisfactory experience. The location is convenient for a variety of local dining options, which is a definite plus.

I faced significant issues with the room cleanliness and dated furnishings. On my first attempts, the sheets had specks and stains, and I often felt like I was in a poorly kept space. It was disappointing to find all of that in such an established hotel.

I really enjoyed my time at this resort, especially the cleanliness and the spacious Admiral suite that was perfect for our group. The pool and hot tub were lovely for relaxation, even though some guests were a bit inconsiderate. On the downside, I did have some trouble with the refrigerator freezing my food, even after maintenance came to help. Overall, I felt it offered great value with its proximity to attractions and local dining options.

My family and I have been returning to Marina Bay every summer for the past seven years. The spacious Admiral suite is perfect for us, providing ample room to relax, with two bathrooms and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The heated pool and the lovely game room are great for keeping everyone entertained, even on rainy days. However, it's worth noting that noise from the nearby highway can be distracting, particularly if you're looking for a quiet retreat.

We mainly cooked our meals in the suite, so we didn't explore dining options much, but easy access to a grocery store was a plus.
