Hi folks, some suggestions from a local for people travelling to SG.
Folks who want a good budget hotel near train station should look for hotels near Farrer MRT station (The Claremont) or Paya Lebar MRT station (Zen Hotel Geylang, Aqueen Hotel Paya Lebar). Unfortunately most hotels are near the city area which mean travel is required to reach the tourney location.
I suggest hotels near Paya Lebar station as it does not require changing of train lines. Each train stop is approximately 2min apart from each other and it is 7 stops to Marymount. Stopping one station early at Bishan station is probably not advisable for folks unfamiliar in navigating around housing estates. Train ride is the cheapest and takes 15mins, afterwhich a good walk of 10mins is needed to reach Swords and Stationary.
Marymount station is also near another FLGS, Gamersaurus Rex, at Thomson (also 10-15mins walk). Feel free to reach out to me if you need a guide to navigating around as Google Maps may sometimes not pick the optimal route.
