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

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?

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...

If I take 170X from jb to cross the bridge then switch to take Causeway link to newton, how will I be charged?

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.

Scheduled ones are listed on the website of their water authorities ... I can't remember the name offhand. And they might have an FB page (just guessing) for unseen incidents.

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

From check out time around 11am all the way until after check in time around 4-5pm, the lift is a nightmare. Firstly, Singaporeans check out with huge luggages, then from 12pm to 3pm the various cleaning crew push their big trolleys to collect old bedsheet and blankets etc, some also armed with vacuum cleaner. Then after 3pm, Singaporeans check in with their big ass luggages again, then they will take the lift back down to go out.

There are four lifts for every floor, but the piece of chit lift doesn’t talk to each other, so you have to press like 4 buttons and get one of your entourage to stand at the far end to monitor two lifts while you monitor the other two in case you miss it.

I have stayed at tower A ninth floor before and it’s supposedly a private lift coz the lift opens directly to our unit (there’s no corridor) but it’s nonsense coz that one lift still serves anther hundreds of units directly above us! Instead of waiting for four lifts, we can only wait for ONE! During peak period, I literally have to take the lift from ninth floor all the way to the top and then back down, if not there’s no chance of entering the lift.
