While I got my PRC visa at the Consulate here in Chicago, my recollection was that it was only a couple of days. 4 seems awfully high, especially given the proximity from SIN. No matter, it is what it is.
As for SIN hotels keeping your passports, I can report that neither the Sheraton nor the Marriott (with which I have personal experience) have ever done so. I don't believe that any of them do.
Best wishes for a great trip! Dave
