Admittedly, the average West Malaysian knows so little about hotels in Sabah. If not for an anonymous user, booking the Klagan at Riverson Hotel and Residence Kota Kinabalu at MyCen Hotels, I would not have known about this new hotel at KK Times Square, facing The Magellan Sutera at Sutera Harbour. For this city, I have only stayed at the Hyatt Regency, the Tanjung Aru Beach Resort (built for sunsets) and a couple of others.
