10/10 Excellent
"It's a little cumbersome to check in, particularly with a car. But I came around because of the wonderful and very responsive staff. Location is convenient to most of KK. Unfortunately the pool was out of service for the entirety of my stay, but since it is a common pool to all of the building, it is not their fault. I would highly recommend for a single traveler."
