Update: 8th of March

Hello everyone. Tim Nicholls owner of Off the Square here.

It is Tuesday the 8th of March and we are just surfacing. No power, water off, lots of problems in our homes. Now getting back to services.

Staff are all safe. The hotel is in the Red Zone and we are not allowed anywhere near there. The have started letting people in to the outer areas of the downtown cut off area, but all is too dangerous for our area, as yet.

We cannot retrieve bags , computers and so on. We will communicate at the earliest, once we know. For now the hotel is closed and not operating. The circumstance of that is going to run on for a long time. Who knows, at present, whether, even the biggest part of the hotel, which is again OK, it can be operated in the shorter term.
