Hi Rokko
Spoken to Regent yesterday. Me taking a Fri package so more ex. Personally, I think the weekday's the most worth it. The perks we bargained for are additional barrel of beer, 30% parking; seat covers; free supper...the usual lar.
Pros: The thing that attracts me most is the jazz performance, the ambience, and the service (waiters are 1 to a tbl). Heard the food's not bad too :^).
Cons: Isolated part of Orchard (But it's a pro for me cos' it quiet & exclusive); Reception area not very private; 2 pillars in BR (but if 30 tbls can arrange to avoid them); not the best freebies (heard Mandarin have free flow beer).
But it really depends on your priorities. Some ppl wants value for money, some wants ambience and service. For me, I like Regent cos' its the classiest hotel (my opinion) that falls within my budget :^P
If you want more info, just PM me k?
