I feel pretty confident about the trip before Singapore, but given the middling reviews, its making me wonder about basing my decisions on other criteria, such as proximity to the Chili Crab, and even booking outside the normal 4+/5 lux hotels in Singapore. It seems like most of the stall food is towards the shore, moving up south east along the coast. Its hard to get a sense of how far GH is from those places (or even if the map I'm looking at for food locations is still timely).
Thanks, and happy travels.
Are you basing your decision on points or paid rate? There may be more cash and points availability at the Hyatt vs. the Starwood properties. Tough to say with the paid rate depending on what your budget it. If you are looking for the best location you could look on Airbnb as well as you can rent an entire apartment for less than the going rate at most of these hotels (with locations all over the city).
