hmm the hotel that i book its very out of the way its Mexan Harbour Hotel at Tsing Yi. Initially thought of changing to majastic but it will cost me another $160 to me i feel I rather spend on some other stuff.

Not sure with Dorsett Olympic but the location its quite alright.

It's really way out. Smack right the middle of a ?shipyard/container yard. :s31:
If you like the night life, it's not worth it because then you'll have to go back by cab.

Any idea will I be able to get clothings that I can wear in Singapore in Nov? I hear in Nov they starts to sell winter clothing. So I'm wondering will the warehouse still be selling maybe summer clothing.

Thanks for any input.

Heard from friend that they will still be selling them in the factory outlets. So not to worry much.

Hi there...I'm also staying there... :D but I'll be there from 20 dec to 25 dec. They (the hotel) offered me HK750 (about S$152) nett per night for a double room except christmas night (HK850 nett). Then when I went around to source for airline and realise it will cost quite abit.

Then last sat at NATAS, I managed to get a package, flying via UA @ $816 per pax for the 6 days 5 nights.

Actually I was there at Stanford last yr and really like the location. But we were given a room with faulty heater and no bathtub. Hence before we checked out last yr, I left feedback for them. They replied via snail mail, dated the very next day and I was very impressed. Hence this year, I wrote to them saying that I'll be back (either booking the rooms directly with them or through an F&E package).

Requested for a double room with bathtub. Guess what, they offerred me a king bedded room with bathtub.... yeah....

Looking forward to my trip now....

Cheers..... :s12:

Hello, i was also assigned Standford Hotel as my first choice (Concourse) was full. I too booked mine at Natas and leaving on Nov. May I know wat is the walking distance to the MTR? And which MTR station is that?

Lucky that somebody has stayed at this hotel before, or else I will be wondering on the quality of my stay :)
