I had a generally pleasant stay at Paradox Singapore Merchant Court At Clarke Quay, with the location being a standout feature. The proximity to Clarke Quay and the MRT made exploring the city incredibly easy. However, I did experience some letdowns regarding the service. While most of the staff were friendly, some procedures felt overly strict and impersonal, which detracted from the overall luxury experience I was hoping for.
