On the day Typhoon No. 10 hit, after learning about the extreme weather from the news at 10:30 AM, I promptly contacted the hotel receptionist to inquire about a late check-out, as the standard check-out time was 11:00 AM. Not only did she immediately reject my request, but she also declined to implement any safety or weather-appropriate measures for guests checking out that day. I pointed out the Hong Kong Observatory had advised the public to seek shelter in a safe place during such conditions and asked how I could safely leave. Unfortunately, her only suggestions were to either pay for an additional day or take a taxi.
I chose not to accept the hotel’s pressurised offer to extend my stay, especially when no discounted offers were even granted. After checking out, I observed other guests hurriedly leaving the hotel under dangerous conditions.

Safety should always take priority over profits.
Such a treatment was completely uncalled for. Your company should therefore update on your hotel policy on extreme...

They were quiet for a few min and then continued even louder. Our complaints made no difference whatsoever and therefore we checked out right away! The noise was really unbearable. Although the staff was helpful but did not resolve the issue could’ve given us another room but no, there’s no other room. I understand the building was converted from a commercial property into a hotel, but the room walls are too thin. The feel and the vibe of the hotel is amazing, but again unfortunate that it...
