Surprising to me, the bar at the top of Marina Sands, which indeed has a good view, is free to visit during the day, at least pre Covid. Been in the area many times and with some friends who live a, err, higher level of travel than me, we all went. Unimpressed with the Art/Science museum.

In the Marina Sands area, avoid Makansutra Gluttons Bay, which is overpriced.

Also, again pre Covid, would not recommend Lloyd's Inn. Stayed once in my tour of mid range places. Couldn't connect to wifi, though staff tried and was helpful. At that time, breakfast was remote at Killiney Kopitiam, 5 minutes walk. Weird navigation inside. Fairly remote from public transportation.

Nearest place I'd stay would probably be the Strand, maybe YMCA. Prices for hotels in Orchard area are pretty nuts.

Did you see the nanny state cleaned up Orchard Towers, lol?
