Question for the locals: Depending on what happens with Marriott rates & Sheraton availability (and rates), I was looking at our corporate hotels: The Fullerton Singapore, Grand Plaza Hotel & Raffles The Plaza. Any insight re location as to whether they're good alternatives for the weekend? Thanks!
you guys can count me in. I will be there a couple days earlier as my parents live there

I will buy the tickets in a couple of days/weeks after I figure out my finances. (just put earnest money on a condo and moving to a new rental apartment next Tuesday, and off to SF this Friday for the weekend)
Tentatively I am looking at Jan 11/12 - Jan 17
As for the hotels, all 3 are pretty close to each other, well Singapore is a small island. I would recommend the Fullerton, it is new, close to Boat/Clarke Quay and they have a nice bar.
As for the seafood restaurant, the one in Geylang has no air-conditioning, however, the one in Kallang Oasis do have it. So majority wins in this case.
See you guys there in 2005!
Edited to say thanks to SD1K and CaWhite60156 for their little favor extended to me and leave 16/17B for me! the other choice seats have all been taken, by FTers! Otherwise I will have to settle in 25C
