Given it's Easter and Vic public holidays I doubt if I could find another hotel at this late stage. Mandira is full and they won't promise anything.
We have never stayed at the Mandira before so don't know the property. Jetstar arrives quite late and we won't get to the hotel at least 10pm (not counting any possible delays)So we won't have any clout at that time of night.
I've checked out the Mandira layout on the website and according to the hotel spiel, the rooms to be upgraded are located along the outer edges and are relatively isolated. Buffer rooms have been created with a total of 16 rooms closed which includes the 6 upgraded rooms. On another website states that they putting up a decorated partition...

Well just our luck to get the first one looking at the decorarated partition, we always get the cruddiest room in the hotel (fact) I for one don't want to be sat out having a drink (as you do) looking at it, we can do that at home for nowt !!! nor do we want the tap tap tapping, tile cutting, paint smells that goes with renos... not to mention the pool diggers. I could write a book on it... I know the drill :-(
Just wished I'd been informed before I paid.
