On the evening of July 12th, we experienced an extremely terrifying moment on our last night at the hotel. The wire of the bathroom heat lamp in room 106, which was provided by the hotel, short-circuited and caused a fire. We immediately turned off the main power and managed to extinguish the fire ourselves. However, it was more than half an hour after I called the hotel after hour emergency contact number that a security guard from a third-party security company arrived to inspect the situation. The security guard then called the fire department. I informed the security guard that due to the safety hazard, Room 106 could no longer be occupied. The security guard contacted the hotel management, and arrangements were made for us to stay in two twin share rooms instead. Regrettably, until today, no one from the hotel management has reached out to me regarding this incident. This hotel management does not care about its guests and has serious management issue.

We had our grandson with us and he loved the indoor spa and pool. The restaurant is an easy spot for a pleasant meal. Our executive suite with 2 bedrooms was clean and thoughtfully laid out. The only minor issue we had was the SLOW lift access. All the staff we met were very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed our stay.

When booking, request not to get room 405. There was an annoying persistent noise in the main bedroom of our 2 bedroom apartment, which never stopped and kept us awake all night. When we raised the issue with staff, they came and checked and agreed it was annoying and then just ignored us and made no attempt to suggest alternative accommodation or compensate us for the inconvenience and frustration. When we checked out they asked us to email management so they are aware of the issue for future guests! Obviously, once they received there payment from us it was no longer their concern.
