Just to gild this particularly lily,
Breakfast came with the straight room fee and did not require the upgrade.
The 'budget' limo cost MYR66, which is roughly US$17. The budget cars are
plain and a bit run down, compared with the fancier limos.
Airfare to KL is notably cheaper than to Singapore and, possibly, Hong Kong.
Food prices in very expensive hotels are not too bad.
Everywhere else they are an absolute steal, and often taste better.

OK, I'll bite:
Kuala Lumpur which we just used for APRICOT 2001. Five-star hotel, the Pan
Pacific $63 per night. Pay $93 and you're on the Executive floor with free
breakfast, etc. The hotel is next to a convention center. Food was very
inexpensive, with the exception of alcohol (Muslim country so you'd sort
of expect that).
Even the one-hour limo ride to the airport was only $35.
Getting to and from KL is no worse than any other major Asian city.
Temperature stable, tropical. Internet infrastructure pretty good.
