I had a reservation for checkin Nov 17 but just had to cancel so was in the website last night. Hotel was 104 sgd, so check your dates and website -- may be cheaper today.

ended up staying during the week, and as noted - managed to snag a discounted rate of SGD150 from the original booking of ~$200.
location wise - not fantastic for down to raffles quay - about $15 in a taxi in the morning (more for uber as peak time starts about 730)
room was fine (although the pillows could be firmer), decent spread for a complimentary breakfast, gym was a bit sparse. didn't eat in the hotel restaurant but plenty of indian options around, including the well known banana leaf apolo from which i got ubereats.
would i stay again on a biz trip? no, location didn't really work for me.
would i consider for a leisure trip? at this price for sure, especially compared to some of the ordinary hotels at $350 and above.
a note - some locals warned that little india traffic is heavy during weekends so maybe something to consider.
