However, it wasn't that easy to booked. Finally, I managed to get dates for 20th to 22 Oct. Arranged the other room for my parents too. I thought hard about the schedule for the first day and finally decided to have lunch at the Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora before check-in.
Arrived at Hotel Michael on time.
Took about 20 min to check-in but only one room was ready. It took them another hour to get the room for my parents ready. A was too excited to nap. B did manage to catch some beauty sleep though :)
Didn't really like the room. The carpet outside the bathroom was wet. There was a can of opened yoghurt in the fridge. The walls at the shower area are slimy. The towel hook was loose. On the 2nd day, we left the hotel at 9 a.m. to USS and returned at 2 p.m. Housekeeping still wasn't done at all. As a RWS Invites member, I didn't get the welcome fruit platter so I had to call for it. There was no local newspapers given in the morning too. No bathrobe in my parents' room. Request to housekeeping only fulfilled after an hour.
After dinner on the 2nd night, the door access key to my parents' room couldn't unlock the door. I had to call reception from our room to request for new key cards. This should never have happened. At check-out, the reception actually wanted to bill me for 1 night under the 2 rooms. However, I had already paid and presented the hotel vouchers during check-in.
Back to the good stuff ... dinner on the first night was at Starz Restaurant at Hard Rock Hotel. It was quite good and reasonably priced at $58++. As a RWS member, I had 25% off for our group of 4.
On the 2nd day, it's off to Universal Studios Singapore (USS). The weather was good and it was quite enjoyable, especially the Mummy and Transformers rides. I actually went back for the Mummy when the kids were having their afternoon nap.
Since it's a weekday, there wasn't much of a crowd. The queues were manageable although I bought the Express passes. We managed to take quite a bit of photos with the mascots.
The buys at USS.
Dinner was at the Malaysian Food Street. Nice food although expensive.
After dinner, the kids had a wild time at Candylicious!
The next morning, we had breakfast at Macdonalds. Again, the kids love it!
Had a ride on the monorail and a little walk before check-out :)

This was the longest staycation we had ever and really fun!
