Tough to get hotel rooms in Singapore

Got a last minute assignment to go Singapore for a business trip on coming Monday (Dec 10) last night. So, first thing this morning was to email to my office admin to help getting me a flight ticket and room in Singapore.

Getting a flight ticket is not an issue, but getting a room is a big problem. For some reasons, all hotels are fully booked. This is not the first time. A few months back my colleagues were having the same problems trying to get hotel rooms in Singapore. They ended up 3 sharing 1 room in a small hotel in some back lane, that sort.

Singapore is really successful in attracting business people and tourists, so much so that its hotels are fully booked most of the time. Whenever there are events and conventions, the island city is sure short of hotel rooms. I think the government must keep building hotels. But what a good problem to solve!
