Good things can sometimes come from bad. I watched this video because the hotel is considered a "liminal space", I was not expecting the alarm situation. Made it even more interesting! 😆

Drama!!!! It looks a lovely room but I swear to god someone would have died by that 2nd alarm. (Front desk person probably!). You worked the foil sheet though. Have fun in Bali 🍻

A few H&S issues I think. I couldn’t get over queuing down a fire escape staircase. That was crazy. On a lighter note you rocked the category of……a night of a thousand Kylies 😂. The Bali trip looks amazing too. Neil says thanks about the accessibility items you put in the vlogs too. It helps him out a lot. Safe trip home.

Oh wow! Thanks for another great video, Jamie - that's not the experience you want the night before a 19+ hour flight! We had one evacuation the night before our flight to Orlando last year and that we bad enough, but 4 alarms?! Hopefully some lessons have been learned! Other than that it looks like a good hotel!
