Had to stay down the hill again due to an early appointment with the Arndale NAB.
So I booked a night at the Mansfield and at $150 for the night I thought it was a little over priced.
However my cash wasn't good enough for the Finsbury. They wouldn't even give me a room for the night because my credit card had been reported lost that day. I dont know why it was auto reported lost, because I still had possession of it, obviously an issue with NAB. But the staff at Finsbury said its policy you had to have a CC even if you are paying cash. Turns out you actually have to have an operable CC, even if you are paying cash because I had one but was still turned away.
Anyway the room at the Mansfield absolutely smashed the Finsbury rooms, the staff overcame my CC issue by asking for an extra $100 deposit. The staff way more friendly at the Mansfield and the patrons way better. You only need to speak the language or not be Junkie to better the Finsbury local.
Anyway I'll never ever go back to the Finsbury for even a cold beer on a hot day. All the patronage I have given them over the years and they turn me away. Knowing I was on foot with my luggage case. I've advised all my colleagues to do the same, from now on its either the Mansfield or even the Enfield over the overpriced poor service Finsbury.
