I’ve read through some of the hotel threads and I’m thinking either the Courtyard, Four Points or maybe the Westin.

I’m gold with Bonvoy so I don’t think that gets me much of anything additional at any of the hotels. I’ll be coming off the flight from EWR and I tend to not sleep well in planes but I imagine I’ll want to look around a bit while I’m there. I’ll have my camera so I would like to get a few good pix, haven’t researched where yet. Suggestions appreciated or I’ll research that elsewhere later. The hotels I listed are 20k - 32k with the 4P at 20k. The Tang seems like it might be a better location for me, but I’m not sure it’s worth going up to 40k points for one night. Maybe it is?

Any thoughts/recommendations from the hotels I listed? The MRT being right under the Courtyard and the rooftop pool make me think that’s where I would prefer to stay. I’ll most likely take the train into town and back to the airport. But I did read something about the pool being under repair a couple of months ago. I assume it’s open now? I can message the hotel if nobody knows and that looks like the place I want to go. I would like a pool while I’m there.

Thanks in advance!
I second/third the Four Points, or perhaps the Warehouse right next door.
Although Courtyard seems like it is on top of the subway, it is a confusing 5-10 minutes through the warrens of a shopping mall to find it.
The Four Points/Warehouse are now fairly close to a new subway station, which removes my former objections to the location.
It is great for walking to Clarke's Quay, dining/drinking on the river, and even walking to Chinatown. For a first time 24 hour visit,
that will give you a good taste of Singapore.
