He very loudly & verbosely proclaimed that he never had, nor ever would, do anything like that.
However when confronted with a Court transcript of evidence by his wife in a previous proceeding that she had seen him kick holes in the fence (but only when angry) he suddenly remembered once kicking such a hole.
He subsequently paid into Court $150 as an agreed payment to the Jacobs'.
Meanwhile little appears to have changed at 102 Harrington St except that the owner Mr Khani has grown a long white beard.
We share with you the laments of 4 of his recent guests:-
“A Horror-ington 102 Experience”
For anyone who would like to "enjoy" their trip to Hobart should avoid this hotel at all cost. I recommend Narella Backpacker near it proved more comfortable. During my 4 nights stay at this miniature replica of H.H.Holmes's Murder Castle, I had a great time making my own bed, buying breakfast (one at hotel is awful - weetbix, bread and jam with milk), and plugging my ears while sleeping to keep out noises from banging of doors. There was just a lady staying on second floor but no other guests. There was No lift, No hot shower at night, No lock on door, No utensils, No WiFi on 3rd floor, No staff on standby at night and worst of all, No Refund! Never be lured by the decency of the ground floor; it's just a trick to attract gullible tourists.
I booked this hotel for the price, it was the least expensive where I could have a room and a private ensuite for the time I was in Hobart (Christmas week). On the positive side, my room was ready when I arrived (around noon). It was clean and the bed was comfy. But that is all for the good stuff.
The room needs a little maintenance, there were holes in the wall, some paint was scratched off the wall. Not very inviting. After the woman at reception showed me my room I asked her the wi-fi code. She gave it to me straight away, but when I tried to connect my device, I couldn't find the network, not the name she gave me, nor any other. It's ok I said to myself I was going to ask her on my way out, but surprise, reception was closed when I got downstairs. If we needed to reach her, we had to ring a number. Well, that is fine when you have a phone, but when you come from another country you don't always have an unlocked mobile phone, so you usually only use it with wi-fi... When I went back later, she told me there was wi-fi only at reception, not in the rooms, but it is advertised otherwise online (wifi is available in ALL areas).
The room was never cleaned the time I was there (I don't mind using the same sheets or towels for the 5 nights I stayed), but there were no sweeping, no emptying the bin, no cleaning at all.
Also, there was rarely someone at reception, so if you needed anything you had to call. But there are no phone in the room! I was checking out early, so I wonder where I would leave the key and all, but again there was nobody to answer me. I met the woman by chance in the stairs, so I asked her then... What would have I done?

Probably leave the key at the counter... I don't call this service.
It was also advertised that breakfast was included in the room rate, well every morning I got to reception (different hours - 7am or 8am), there was no breakfast, there were tables set up but no food in sight...and no staff around.
I could not change hotel as it was too expensive elsewhere and I would probably have to pay for this room anyway (was too late to cancel) so I stayed there for the five nights I had paid for, but I booked tours so I wouldn't have to spend too much time in that establishment. I wouldn't recommend this hotel and I wouldn't call this place luxury apartments as the sign says outside.

It's rundown and has no service.
We stayed here because we had to. Hobart was booked out for New Year's Eve. Never again. False advertising. These are far from luxury rooms. Drains smelled rooms dirty. It looked like something from Kings Cross in the sixties. It saving grace was it was very close to the city and Taste of Tasmania
