Coin laundries are pretty ubiquitous. I usually visit one at least once per trip. Just take a pocket full of 100 yen coins. Most have vending machines selling single-load detergent and such, so you don't even need to carry the stuff. Your hotel can probably send you in the right direction for the closest one. I don't know about availability of "drop-off" type laundries.
Some business hotels have washers and dryers available for guest use, but I rather doubt that will be the case at the SG.
