Summary: I recently stayed at Carlton Hotel, booking through Hotels.com. I paid over 300 SGD per night expecting a premium experience, but the room was shockingly outdated. The walls were darkened due to effects of time, which is completely unacceptable for a so-called five-star hotel. The overall condition of the room did not justify the price I paid, especially when I’ve stayed in much more modern and comfortable hotels for a fraction of the cost. The hotel may look nice from the outside, but the outdated interior and lack of upkeep made me feel like I had completely wasted my money. Additionally, the hotel advertised a lift, but what they didn’t mention is that the lift only serves limited floors, and for the rest, you have to deal with stairs. This was a huge inconvenience for me as I was traveling with my elderly mother, and it was never communicated clearly in advance. To make matters worse, I tried to cancel my booking due to these issues, but I was passed between the hotel and the booking agent, with neither responding to my attempts to resolve the issue. After waiting over an hour with no resolution, I was left feeling helpless and trapped. I am beyond frustrated. While the staff were all polite and kind, the overall experience left me feeling let down, especially considering the high price paid for what felt like an outdated and underwhelming stay.
