Better than hassle the Conrad (where we stayed Nov 2001 with lounge access), get Marriott on Orchard for $56 on Priceline. We were just there and it is quite a nice hotel. Easy walking to all sorts of restaurants, etc. If you don't get lounge, McDonald's is almost next door as well as across the street! Though the lounge was really nice - we peeked! Elegant hors d'oeuvres, both hot and cold, and lovely little desserts.
