Absolutely CHARMING hotel!
At the advice of a friend, Husband and I made Singapore a sort of pit stop en route to our honeymoon destination, to acclimate to the time and weather. I must say that I mistreated you, Singapore. You're a destination all by yourself.
I was initially drawn to this hotel by the name :-P. C'mon...it's my honeymoon!! Ok, mind out of gutter now. I'm not a big fan of high rise hotels, and I appreciate old colonial architecture. Goodwood Park has both those attributes.
Our flight arrived at 7am. Normally, check-in is at 2pm. The front desk graciously allowed us early check-in, free of charge! We must've looked pitifully tired, or more likely homeless and they didn't want us loitering in the lobby. Whatever their reason, after 21 hours on a plane, Husband and I were SUPER appreciative of early check-in to take a shower and catch some blissful z's on a bed.
Wifi is fast and dependable. Even better, the room comes with a cell phone - calls to the US are included. Ceiling fan in the room could use a little WD40, but the creaky noise kinda went with the old-school charm haha.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat on site. We were so out of it, we missed restaurant hours. Thankfully, Far East Plaza is next door, a bazaar of all sorts, including a life-saving 7-Eleven.
Location is fantastic. It's within walking distance of Orchard Road, Newton Hawker Centre, and a movie theater where we caught a showing of Avengers: Infinity War.
