Stayed at the RP March 25-29 '08 with my husband and 3 yr old. It's a half an hour drive from the airport with traffic. Right now, their driveway is being renovated so the front looks messy. However, the location is great (Orchard MRT is near and DFS is adjacent) with 7eleven across the street as well as a McDonald's 50 meters away.
Check in was quick and we were upgraded to a Club Room (yey!) We appreciated the free drinks (soda, milo, water, juice, beer) at the minibar as well as the clean sheets and rainwater shower and flat screen. There was also an iron and ironing board. The pool is nice enough and the lobby is great because it smells really good (i think Jean Paul Gaultier).
My only problem would be the price, seeing that our total bill reached 2,300 S$ I was shocked since the hotel website quoted it as about 1500S$ without taxes. Other than that, although the room is a little small, we enjoyed our stay and liked the breakfast buffet in Carousel, their restaurant. If money is no issue, we will definitely stay here again on our next visit.
