You can prepay a room at the nearby Carlton for $230/night + tax.

Last Singapore meeting several NCUCers stayed at an IBIS Bencoolen.
Did require a sweaty 10 min walk or short cab ride to Raffles center.
Unrestricted reserved rooms about $200 including tax, prepaid about
20% less.

I'm sure there are plenty of other places perhaps closer, of varying
quality, etc.
