REVIEW:
ACER  for me is more convenient to use compared to HP because its features are easy to understand and they have all forms of style that you would probably dream to have and  as the matter of fact they were rank as the 4th PC vendor worldwide, because of their totality when it comes to quality. Very friendly user. And also what’s interesting and amazing about acer is that they offers a range of products like desktop and mobile PCs, servers and storages, LCD monitors and high-definition TVs, projectors, and handheld/navigational devices, in a way that everything you ask for has been place to ACER. In contrast well, HP is still a good setting of technology brand but in my experience I haven’t try to used any Hp brand but it seems like it has limits and other feature or  the reliability of the brand is not that high that will encourage people to buy, but still it gives enough aspect that a consumer would like to get but not that much compare to ACER.

Hotel Supreme Singapore

Abstract
THE SINGAPORE SUPREME HOTEL BUILDING


Let us just first talk about the definition of the hotel since it is the main core of studying in this field.

-A commercial establishment providing lodging, meals, and other guest services. In general, to be called a hotel, an establishment must have a minimum of six letting bedrooms, at least three of which must have attached (ensuite) private bathroom facilities. Although hotels are classified into 'Star' categories (1-Star to 5-Star), there is no standard method of assigning these ratings, and compliance with customary requirements is voluntary.( Reference: Dictionary.com)

The Official Hotel Guide (published in the US, and followed world wide) has its own classification scheme that ranks hotels in nine categories as (1) Moderate Tourist Class, (2) Tourist Class, (3) Superior Tourist Class, (4) Moderate First Class, (5) Limited service First Class, (6) First Class, (7) Moderate Deluxe, (8) Deluxe, and (9) Superior Deluxe.

Hotel Description:


The Supreme Hotel Singapore is conveniently located twenty minutes drive from Changi International Airport, within walking distance of all the excitement and glamour of Singapore's famous Orchard Road. The big international hotels, the smaller shops, the shopping complexes, the banks, cinemas, nightclubs and restaurants, featuring cuisine from all over the world, are within easy reach of the Supreme Hotel. Facilities at the Supreme Hotel include room service, laundry and dry cleaning services, safe deposit boxes, guided tours, twenty-four hour on-call doctor, wake-up services and fax facility. The Coffee House at the Supreme Hotel is comfortable, cozy, and serves breakfast and light snacks. The 69 well furnished, recently updated guest rooms at the Supreme Hotel offer a range of amenities to ensure a relaxing stay. Doubtlessly, a hotel that won't disappoint it will provide an excellent stay.


Hotel Supreme Singapore is located at 15 Kramat Road Singapore 228750. I found the Hotel at Google.com wherein several hotels were posted but this Hotel seems so accessible and enticing at first, but later on it gets dull.


Gallery of the Hotel Supreme Singapore:







As I critic this hotel based from the system model (Input, processing, output and feedback) it seem so different and does not functioning well, I mean data/information is inaccurate, not exact if ever an individual wants to explore on the gallery, home and other important features of the hotel.

But on the other hand its still fascinating for an ordinary individual who were unfortunate to experience being in a hotel and able to experience once in a lifetime fulfillment in discovering the new trends now a days in a modern world.



The said hotel is a 3 star hotel, it does not compels to compete other hotels because almost of our hotels are accrediting 5 star hotel which means operation standard is excellence. Even Hotel Supreme Singapore is accrediting 3 star its still good by the variation of its location wherein the hotel is just near with only  20 minutes drive from Changi International Airport, walking distance to Orchard Road!

I can say that not all people are in similar taste and preferences and people might also preferred to stay in a 3 star hotel rather than a 5 star hotel because somehow it varies from its cost. even if they lack in facilities and services  compare to other hotels still they follow what has been set  by the management for the betterment of every guest or in other way around Hotel Supreme Singapore follows its S.O.P or the standard operating procedure wherein we considered an important element for the success of the establishment.
To be in a 3 star hotel specifically the Hotel Supreme Singapore is of great honor ( If given a chance) because I think not all have the opportunities to stay in a hotel and this hotel is located at Singapore by internationally setting incorporating its comfortability stay at Hotel Supreme at affordable prices, within walking distance to all the excitement and glamour of Singapore's famous Orchard Road and this somehow entice everyone to be there one day.
