Plaza Premium Lounge at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)
"Our room was clean with two large beds. Bottle water and capsule coffee are complementary, but other snacks and drinks in the mini-fridge are extra costs. The pool looked nice, but we didn't have a chance to try. The gym was well equipped and had plenty of room for several guests. Unfortunate for us, there was a planned power outage morning to mid-afternoon on one of the days of our stay."
