Stayed
at
the
Esplanade
Hote
I
was
very
much
disappointed.
Firstly
the
room
rate
was
outrageous
for
the
room
we
were
given.
Upon
check
in,
the
queue
was
out
the
door,
I
know
check
in
times
are
at
2pm,
but
there
should
be
a
line
for
already
paid
bookings
and
not
paid,
this
would
have
made
the
process
so
much
quicker.
Plus
the
gentleman
they
had
on
reception
was
doing
one
check
in
to
lady
next
to
him
three,
so
I
think
he's
needs
a
lot
more
training.
Finally
checked
in,
and
headed
for
the
pool
to
find
it
was
not
supervised
by
staff,
hence
children
doing
very
dangerous
dive
bombs,
men
thinking
they
can
take
bottles
of
beers
and
glasses
of
spirits
into
the
pool,
where
it
clearly
states
on
pool
rules
not
to
bring
glass
into
the
pool.
Hence
a
terrible
accident
was
lucky
avoided
by
a
hand
juggled
of
the
bottle.
Also
the
pool
bar
was
not
open,
so
everyone
had
to
go
to
the
foyer
bar
to
purchase
and
carry
their
drinks
back
to
the
pool.
A
staff
member
should
always
be
on
supervision
duty,
to
enforce
the
rules,
as
parents
were
not
supervising
their
kids,
as
they
were
busy
walking
the
distance
to
the
bar
to
get
their
drinks.
The
only
saving
grace
of
my
overnight
stay
was
the
bar
staff,
they
were
quick,
helpful
and
friendly
with
great
food
and
drink..
Oh
and
finally,
I
rang
in
advance
to
find
out
about
the
parking
situation,
and
was
told
to
park
in
adjacent
car
park
in
Collie
St
for
$22,
so
I
did.
Only
to
find
out
on
placing
car
park
ticket
in
machine,
that
is
$44
to
stay
overnight.
Surely
the
staff
know
when
you
stay
at
the
hotel,
it
is
for
overnight.
This
led
to
another
expense
onto
a
very
outrageous
stay.
