Remember if they can get away with $30 rates at selected locations now, they can one day spread it nationwide.

Say no and BOYCOTT H81 before it's too late

Up it

I just slapped my own face and booked Kovan81 over the last weekend.

Oops. I was in the hurry cos gotta rush back to work hehe.

Actually no need la. we can complain to the hotel licening board. Under the hotel act.

Exclusion of prostitutes, catamites and bad characters.
24. --(1) No licensee shall permit any person whom he knows or has reason to believe is a prostitute, catamite or bad character to occupy a room in the hotel or to frequent the premises.

(2) A licensee shall not permit any gaming, drunkenness, drug abuse or disorderly conduct of any kind to take place within the hotel premises.

if we all dun go to hotel 81 and go others like fragrance. SURE they will gana. i belive more than 80% of hotel 81 profits is from transiting of rooms.

Well just a suggestion.. pls dun fuck me..

I don't think the board will do anything except giving them a warning at the most. Most important is people like us (or me) start to skip the $30 transit branches to force them to consider dropping their rates officially.

good idea, maybe we can all gang up to book their joo chiat rooms for the whole day n dun return rm until next day, this way they will have less turnover ----> less income!

Forget about all H81 Joo Chiat. The Hotel Licensing Board has already withdrew their license for transition rooms.

I think we're just going round and round.

In short, boycott the $30 branches. The price will slowly go back to the original $20 to attract customers again. This is I believe, a basic business practice.

Knowing that they will earn a lower revenue or even losses from "upping" their rates, they have no choice but to go back to the previous rate.

BOYCOTT $30 Hotel81 branches!

Just my 2 cents.

[poonani]

I was a small shareholder in a hotel on Joo Chiat (now under different management).

Actually $20 for two hours, the profit is less than $3.

Washing of sheets and towels (contract), new pillowcases, snack, drinks, toothbrush = approx. $3

Labour costs, front desk, housekeeping = $4

Depreciation, plus repairs and replacement = $3

Hotel management plus directors = $2

Running costs, water, electricity = $2 (wah, punters use shower like swimming pool)

Bank interest and installments = $3

Why do think we sell out - not so easy - lucky we make on property price increase. I see alot of Geyland hotels changing hands now.

We only make money when one room can rent out more than 10 times, i.e getting 5 star revenue for a small room.

The perk of job is seeing all the FLs walk through - sometimes have discount rate when you start to recognise them and smile.

Just went Fragrance at lavender recently. Ask her bout the Fragrance further inside and she told me was $30/2hrs.

I asked why and she said that one is three star, have swimming pool and restaurant and slightly bigger room. Has anyone tried that fragrance ? If bathtub and stuff maybe worth it.

Hope that it's ok I ask this in this thread.

I think targeted strikes much better tho I stopped going to any that is $30. I think it would be correct to say that management at both hotels know each other. If all their $30 get targerted and $20 high booking, seems the wise course would be to change all to $30. After all, they do have a high numer of transit hotels outside GL.

If only one hotel of one chain get boycotted, that may serve up a different problem for them.

Suggest Kovan ? Since fragrance and 81 both there, and if they do back down, have two hotels at $20 instead of one.

Slightly bigger room may justify slightly bigger price.
Unless the room is 50% larger, the price increase should NOT BE 50%!
Also how does swimming pool and resturant concern transit clients?

They can charge a higher rate for tourist booking overnight/20hrs.
If they feel bo wah to not charge transit higher rate than convert the hotel to strictly Nightly rates.

Bottmline Charging us extra for Swimming pool is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE
