Contine/transfer ride is only for sg mrt and buses.
Cw is private bus.

That's y i always questioning ppl who go kranji to take cw, how is that economical.
You alrdy take mrt, take 170 is same trip, no additional cost.
Go take cw still need pay afew dollars.

Saw on the website KSL Hotel allow you to book standard hotel room or apartment. Are the apartment and normal hotel room in the same hotel building? Total 6 persons including one on wheelchair. Any advice?

Basically, the hotel block is on the left of the mall, while the apartment block on the right. Take note that they've different check-in areas.

I believe you'll need an apartment, can either book directly with KSL or through Airbnb for the privately-owned ones.

I learned (the hard way ) to check the roads leading to CIQ after looking at the pretty sight of the causeway.

If you have someone in a wheelchair, I strongly recommend you do not stay at KSL apartment. The lift situation is absolutely terrible.

Do you mean that the waiting time for the lift is terribly long?

That could happen.

My one stay there at the apartment was during its early days so it's alright. But I'd read such reviews before, about the lift situation. Anyway, we only had to use the lifts a handful of times.

I'd suggest you read reviews from the likes of airbnb and Agoda, or other booking sites, then decide if you'd be comfortable.

I've been staying at the hotel side for years and the lift situation there was tolerable for me, though I've been reading about people waiting like crazy. Maybe I always stayed the highest floors and off peak weekdays, so...

I rem I did the same, SG side 170/170X/160 Q super long, I walk over to that CW bus, stated $2.60 there. I alight at Kanji MRT.
If I wait for SBS bus, may need at least 1 Hr, time vs money. Money can buy time mean worth it liao.
