Beautiful surroundings, many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Good customer service, staff are friendly & welcoming. But hotel fridge freezer is not cold, ice cream cones melted (soft & runny). TV remote not working well, n switches off intermittently or switches to Shangri la hotel advertising. Water container of coffee machine leaks

Having stayed at other Shangri-la properties, I was expecting the same high level of facilities, but on this occasion, it fell short. The property is dated and could do with a revamp. One of the pool lounges did not have sufficient padding on the lounge and when sitting on it, you sat straight on the framework. This was brought to attention of staff, but was left there for days and not removed. On checkout, I was over charged on the invoice and had to bring the overcharged items (doubled up on parking $120 and 1 day charged for an extra breakfast $30). This was rectified but this type of error should not happen for a hotel of supposedly high rating.
