PRICE:
Frommer's Exceptional

This hotel has more class and more facilities than most hotels in its price range, making it one of my top picks. A handsome brick 21-story hotel located above a shopping complex not far from the Temple Street Night Market, it features one of the longest hotel escalators I've seen, taking guests straight up to the fourth-floor lobby where a cheerful and efficient staff awaits your arrival. The lobby lounge is bright and cheerful, with a four-story glass-enclosed atrium that overlooks a garden terrace with a water cascade, where you can sit outside with drinks in nice weather. Other pluses are the small but nicely done rooftop pool with sunning terrace, free daily guided tours of the night market, free Internet service in its Main Street Café with the purchase of a drink, a Japanese-style pub, and a Cantonese restaurant serving great dim sum. Guest rooms are small but welcoming, with all the basic creature comforts and then some, including focused bedside reading lights and comfy desk chairs. This is a good choice for those who want to scrimp on room rates but not on amenities, though those seeking even more extras can opt for an E Club executive room.
