My top ten reasons why I HATE the Melaleuca on Mitchell…

1. They are tight bastards and only turn on the AC at 8pm and then off again at 8am…so we sweat all day.
2. There is no TV room (never mind the excuses about the TV being crap in Darwin).
3. The receptionists have NO hospitality skills and are total BITCHES.
4. They give discounts to people they like and then try to lie and say they don’t usually give discounts…don’t lie to me, there are people paying extremely low rates.
5. Everything is extortionate.
6. Last night we had to beg the guy on reception to turn on the big TV so we could see the news about the 2nd London bombing…he then came and told us he had to turn it off at 11:30pm and we could watch the TV in the reception…WANKER!
7. There is only 2 plugs in a room for 6 people!
8. We are not allowed to hang clothes out to dry even though it is over 30 degrees…we have to use a tumble dryer.
9. To get an iron you have to leave a $30 deposit with the reception.
10. The doors are so heavy, they close like doors would, I presume in a prison…I keep waiting to see the ’Costa Cons’ walk in.

People, I checked out this morning and am now staying at the YHA Darwin.
