I spoke to NW and was told that so long as I have connecting tickets to show to the agent who checks me in in the US, then they would check the bag through to either KUL or PEN.
If I decide to use the Transit Hotel, I noticed that there is one hotel in Terminal 1 and one in Terminal 2. NW arrives in Terminal 1 and MS departs terminal 2. Would it be better to stay in the Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 Transit Hotel for the night?
Thanks

The NW agent was correct. I was able to check through my bags from CLE all the way to PEN via DTW/NRT/SIN on NW and SQ. On the return from PEN to CLE via KUL/SIN/NRT/MSP on MH and NW, it also worked fine. On the trip to Malaysia, I stayed in the transit hotel in Terminal 2, while on the flight back to the US, I stayed in the hotel in Terminal 1, so as to be closer to the departing airlines in the early morning. Both hotels were acceptable. Have fun in Malaysia!
