The staff tried very hard to overcome a bad situation. Management did not even engage with me over unplanned paving which blocked me in a wheelchair. The noise was overwhelming and the management believes 10000 points is enough to achieve peace. We’ve stayed there multiple times. We are very disappointed.

The room reeked of mold, the bathroom glass door still had residue from whomever used it last. Bed bugs, got bitten and I am still uncomfortable from the bites …. Worse part is that I told the receptionist the following morning and was ignored. Secondly I was asked to do a survey and did so but the hotel rep. Emailed said what I smelt was fresh paint ….I think even a novice can distinguish what fresh paint and mold and dampness smells like. Not looking for refund just fix the darn problem as I would not like anyone else experiencing what we did. It’s not my first stay at this location and I never had these issues.
