All the things I hate about the Rockhampton Plaza Hotel.

The Rockhampton Plaza hotel is a piece of shit. Seriously. A piece of shit. A piece of shit that still, for some reason, see fit to give themselves a 4 star rating.

These are the things I hate about this hellhole, in no particular order.

- The service is fucking awful. The counter staff were cold and unhelpful.

- The shower has NO FUCKING WATER PRESSURE.

- There are 6 levels and only two elevators. Oh yeah. One of the elevators is broken - and by my internet research, has been since at least February. Classy, guys.

- My bathroom leaks. I know this is a fairly general statement so I’ll be a little more specific. There is a pipe that comes out of the wall, and water drips out of it onto my floor.

- ONTO MY FLOOR AND SUBSEQUENTLY ONTO MY PYJAMA PANTS. I thought that deserved its own line

- The room, while not dirty or messy, just seems grubby. The bed is uncomfortable and the sheets just don’t seem white. This isn’t helped by the fact that there aren’t many lights in the room - and one of the lamp globes are broken.

- The TV is fucking small. They say they have cable, but.. they only have 6 channels aside from the normal Free to Air, and three of those are sport.

- There’s no minibar in the rooms. In order to enjoy the minibar, you have to go down to reception and purchase the items from there. What the fuck.

- On all of the websites I visited before opting to stay here, they ALL listed that there was room service. Upon my arrival I was informed that room service has been restricted to breakfast only, and it seems that they intend on keeping it that way.

Out of 10.. I would give this place a 2. Fuck staying in this place, I’d never, ever do it again.

I’m sure I’ll have more to add after I sleep on it. Luckily, I’m off to Emerald tomorrow.
