KSL Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, accessible to the mall"

Space Residency by A----Walk 100m to KSL

10/10 Excellent

"Had a really good stay at Space Residency! You can definitely tell this place is going to be a total gem once it's 100% finished.Check-in was pretty smooth—the building is run by a management company, so you just head up to their office on the 2nd floor to grab your room key card. They use a pre-assigned car park lot system, which is great because you get a guaranteed spot. The only small catch is that the specific lot can be a bit tricky and hard to find at first, so definitely take your time navigating the parking levels.The RoomThe room itself was easily the best part. It was super clean, fresh, and incredibly bright with tons of natural light. It just had a really great, inviting vibe the moment we walked in.The CatchThe only real bummer right now is that the building is still finishing up some areas. We noticed some renovation noise and extra movement around the property during the day. It didn't ruin our trip, but it's something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper or planning to hang out in the room all day.Final ThoughtsAll in all, it has amazing potential to be a go-to spot in the future. Once the construction wraps up, this place will be perfect. Would definitely come back!"
