After driving 8 hours from Rockhampton and booking a room over a month before, I arrive to a front desk that’s closed with the shutters down that says reception hours Mon-Fri 9:30-5pm. I show up at 4:15pm. I then ring a number and speak to a woman who tells me there is no booking under my name. The best bit was they charged me the full rate a day later even though I didn’t stay there and had to find other accomodation at the last minute. Never again, hopeless.

Fire alarm went off around 9:30 for no apparent reason and for nearly maximum disruption to us and all the other guests who found themselves in their payjamas in the strand waiting for the fieries to arrive and disable the alarm...not good enough!
