Our room overlooked the esplanade pool and Ferris wheel. Very nice. The washer dryer and milk in the fridge for morning coffee were a real bonus.

Great Location, Ordinary Stay

The room was dusty everywhere. The bed sheets were changed and clean towels provided. The balcony chairs were sun faded and chalky and left marks on our clothes. An annoying inconvenience was that parking was non existent for first night of stay. However Mantra parking signs appeared in parking bays assigned to room numbers the next day. There was a broken double power point in the closet so I could not iron clothes unless I tried it in the small bathroom with great difficulty. The TV and internet was extremely slow and to add to annoyance, the settings were locked in Japanese language only. The credenza below the wall mounted tv housed the kettle, coffee and tea and fridge. However there was no accessible power point to connect kettle to, above the credenza. The only place was in the bathroom. Even though issues with the room were discussed with Mantra staff at front desk, nothing happened to address some of these matters prior to leaving. From a positive perspective the location is central with ease of access to shopping, food venues and the esplanade.

Staff and location are the only good things here

Friendly staff and great location. The room, however, smelled of Thai food and garlic bread. The air conditioner seemed to be bringing in the smells from who knows where. It was awful. The mattress had springs poking up in several places. No washcloths. Just not worth the money.
