A staycation and travel addict who tries to toe the balance between living the atas life and maintaining some resemblance of financial sanity.
I remembered a great stay back in 2019 so this became my choice for burning off my expiring D$50, even if it means by then hotel prices have already gone way back to pre-COVID. But there was in fact no other option to spend the expiring D$ outside of a stay, so here goes.

Decided to do a separate review of this stay due to the fact that I’ll be experiencing a different room type. This will mostly be about the room and experience since the facilities remains unchanged – but little did I know how different my experience will be this time.
(Sorry the pics are a little incomplete as I was thrown off by issues but more pictures of the public areas of the property is available on my previous review of the Urban Suite )

My previous experience in this property was back in 2011. With the recently completed refurbishment and glowing pictures and reviews online, I decided to take advantage of the Amex Plat offer for getting $100 back with every $300 spent at Pan Pacific Group of Hotels, which includes Parkroyal properties. And being able to stack my GHA Black benefits was a bonus for sure!

So this happened.
The backgound was I saw their facebook publish the 5-day long More Joy with Spring promotion some times early Jan which talks about a guaranteed upgrade to the club room. I jumped and clicked on their advertised link but could not find any mention of the upgrade in the process of booking. As it was a non-refundable booking, I didn’t want to take my chances and commented on their post seeking clarification. But I was stone-walled. Up til the last day of the promotion. I decided to use facebook messager to attempt clarification again, and this time I got a response – saying they would check. The next reply from them was that the hotel “is not participating in the gauranteeed club room upgrade” and apologies for the miscommunication. I wrote back to express my disappointment how it was possible that happened – they apologised again and said they can accord a guaranteed club upgrade for my booking.
So yup. It does not take alot to convince me when a Club Lounge is involved. Yays.
