Does anyone feel like commenting? Should location drive my choice (presumably to IC)? Or should I feel comfortable planning to just cab around. Is traffic that rough? Does anyone of these three find itself better located for many hawker stalls?
I'd rank Fullerton head and shoulders above the rest: it's a great hotel in a great location, with Lau Pa Sat, Gluttons Bay and Market St Hawker Ctr within easy walking distance, Chinatown's near-infinite eating options not much further away, and the entire city within striking distance via Raffles Place MRT.
The IC is not particularly special as far as facilities go and the location, while handy to Bugis and the MRT, isn't particularly good for the city centre. Wangz is a bit of an unknown quantity and quite awkwardly located for everything except Tiong Bahru hawker centre, which is admittedly good, but not so good I'd plan a vacation around it.
