Singapore Airlines periodically offer 'Stop-Over Holidays'. These are heavily subsidised rooms in 4 and 5 star hotels. As part of the offer, you also get a range of free coupons -these include things like free entry to museums, the night zoo, the bird park as well as half price Singapore Slings in Raffles.
The hotel will try to sell you transport to the attractions, but you can easily go there on your own using the MRT and are perfectly allowed to do so.

There are a series of hotels in the Geylang area of Singapore which are part of a chain called Fragrance.
True, this is in the red light district but staying there will give you a 'real' view of Singapore. Even better, the rooms are really cheap - and even cheaper if you have an ISIC or IYIC membership.
