You can see who else may be in town during your stay.

By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )

Tinky - one word of advice... Do not leave anything you may value in your room!

The Quentin Arrive has to be the absolute worst place I have ever stayed in in all my 41 years.

I would rather sleep rough at the station than stop here again...

When I got to the "reception" I was simply asked "What room?" and was then given a key. At no point did I see the same person on the front counter, so how the hell did they even know I was staying there?

Honestly mate, if you can find somewhere else, do it. Hell, my room wouldn't even lock from the inside, so I tried to barricade the door from inside just in case someone "got lost" in the night. I lost weed and money that I had hidden in there while I was out - fortunately, I had my passport, wallet etc. with me whenever I left the place.

The crowning glory of the trip was having to wait 55 mins to use the only shower between three floors, then finding someone had taken a huge dump in it, presumably because the toilet had been smashed...

I don't want to rain on your parade fella, but nor do I want you to have anything like the same experience I had there...

Aside from that, have fun!

:wink:

Yeh nice1! Lucky me i am there for an extra night due to my departing flight being moved :lol: Only thing that bothers me is the sharing of the Shower and toilet. I am normally an early riser so should be okay but we will see :D
