Notes
- Both hotels offer day use bookings — PARKROYAL via their own "Daycation by the Bay" package, Mama Shelter via Dayuse.com
- PARKROYAL has significantly better parking (free at Marina Square)
- Mama Shelter is much cheaper for day use but rooms are small (17 sqm) and there's ongoing construction noise
- PARKROYAL's overnight rate (~S$383) is roughly 2.5x Mama Shelter's day rate (~S$137)
