The express train goes right next to the hotel from the airport as well.

Depending on the number of nights you can find cheaper alternatives in the area. I have been interested in visiting Putrajaya which is closer to the airport and supposed to be an interesting city (government city built recently).

I have also also looked around for cheap hotels in Asia and cannot find many with the amount of options we have here.

Good luck.
AK is indeed a very good option. I haven't flown them in a very long time. I do have a huge stash of Avios and since MH is part of OW, I was planning to use them to travel around SE Asia and use KL as a base. I'll keep LM in mind as I finalize my travel plans.

Thx!
