Thank god we had an afternoon flight because otherwise we would have missed it! I slept through the alarm, because I'm feeling a little off! All is well though we made it! Straight into a taxi I hopped to head to the Celebration Suites. I gave the information straight to the taxi driver (in what I thought was an even tone) and he nodded his head in understanding. Further down the road he says "oh, I don't know where?" So Phil gives him the exact route and interstate to take...further along we travel...."oh no! Which way do I take!!"... The taxi driver makes a turn and we travel through a small town at a very slow pace. At this point I bring up my maps and exclaim "Mate, where the hell are you taking us? This is the opposite direction!" Around the taxi turns finally bringing us to the hotel 20 minutes later. $60 dollars! I don't think so! In synchronisation Phil handed him $50 while i went around the back to get the bags out of the boot. I walked inside and Phil soon followed after arguing with the guy for about five minutes. As we stood inline waitingi to check in, the guy followed into the lobby and demanded more money! Later we found out that taxi drivers try to swindle tourists all the time. Lucky us! Eventually we get to the front if the line to check in, I give the lady all the information and just sit back to wait for the key.... This is how things went after that...
Check in lady- Your room isn't ready
Me-Um what? It's 4pm?
Check in lady- Yeah, that's only the check in time. We still have time to clean your room.
Me-Um What the f***! That is bulls***!
Check in Lady- I guess I can put you in another room.
Me- Um Yeah mate that would probably be best!!!!
Phil-Calm down, she's just a pleb.
Me-SHE is rude!
Finally we arrive to the room, put our things down and venture out for food. The room has come equipped with a small kitchen, I am so excited. Spaghetti!!! On the way back I asked the front desk lady if I could get cutlery, apparently they bring it out to the room. Half an hour later, no cutlery. Phil calls up, 15 minutes later still nothing. Phil calls again. 10 minutes later we get the cutlery! Ridiculous!
Ok ok! Maybe I'm still just angry about the whole check in process! You know what I'll do, I'll have a bath! So I fill her up and get in and relax! 5 minutes later the water is no higher then my ankles! On inspection of the plug it is damaged so it will never keep water in again!
Needless to say, I hate this place.
