Night 3 of our Sydney trip was spent in a different hotel closer to the city. You know those horror stories of cheap motels with the sign hanging off that you see in those Hollywood movies? Well the "Haven Inn" was just like that. Although not cheap it had all of the extra's like a stinky fridge, no heating, noisy and I could go on and on ...... But the best part was that it had clean sheets and pillows.........
Helen did her very best to get the heating operational but all to no avail. So we donned our coats and made the best of it with a nice glass of wine.
To top it all off the "Night Manager" was obviously a mad soccer fan and decided to cook himself some toast at 3.45am which he promptly forgot about and set off the fire alarms. The whole hotel was evacuated.
Not a nice feeling to be woken by a fire alarm but I suppose it is better to be safe than sorry - I grabbed my handbag which had my camera inside so I could share the experience with you all........ We did have a giggle when we trudged back to bed in our PJ's - That is one trip we won't forget.I'll be back next time to show you all of the goodies I brought home.
HUGS,

I had that happen to me in Cairns. The girls i shared with were from overseas and didnt know what to do....
It's a good thing you have a keen sense of humor! ~karen
Something you can laugh about later...and to make matters worse the Aussies lost! I see Jo had a spending spree....looking forward to seeing your goodies!
LOL!!! A burnt piece of toast caused an hotel evacuation when we stayed in Queensland a few years ago!!
I have a mental picture of your hotel manager wearing a white singlet and braces.....
Very memorable trip!!

Oh dear :-)
You girls will be talking about that for a while...grin
Sheesh! What a night! One for the memory bank!
Sounds like the hotel we stayed in last year for the Sydney Show.....the heating didn't work and it took hours for them to send someone only to be told it was broken down.....duh, we figured that one out ourselves
Sounds like your trip will be well remembered, LOL
向著星球長驅直進的人，反比踟躕在峽路上的人，更容易達到目的。..................................................................
I apologise Fee.... at your expense I had a little giggle to myself at this. So glad you can see the funny side of it now..All I could think of is what I would look like in my pyjamas at this very moment (if we had to evacuate) not pretty!
LOL!! How funny! Just dont let Jo choose the hotel next time LOL
What an experience! I wouldn't go back to that hotel.
