This is my second experience with "pods in Singapore." The contrast could not be more glaring. In my first experience, two young men were available for answering my questions and gaining invaluable hints on how to enjoy Singapore during my free periods. The my second experience (Atlantis Pods), the young man who checked me in gave me minimal info on how to use the locking system and then disappeared. I did not see him for the next two days.
In my first experience, hot coffee and tea were available in porcelain cups and they were dispensed by professional machines. In my second experience, hot water was dispensed in paper cups. The free breakfast consisted of white slices of bread and peanut butter and jelly. What a joke!
The most serious offense was sleep interruptions. in my first experience, I slept soundly throughout the night. Everyone spoke in whispers, if they spoke at all. In my second experience, two guys and a gal barged in at a few minutes after midnight. The three of them spoke with each other for the next half hour in loud voices. I gave them a shhhhhhhhhhhhhh alert. It worked for five minutes and then resumed. At 02:13 (I checked my clock.) the gal began a verbal tyrade that lasted for a full twenty minutes. In the second night, the first group had vacated the pods. No difference. Periodic loud talking and noises interrupted my sleep. I will never go there again!
