The hotel is in a convenient place for the guildhall where the function was held, however, check in was at 15.00pm - my room wasn’t ready until 16:45pm; I had to sit in reception so that I could keep checking if it was ready.
There were chocolates and wine waiting in my room, by way of apology (I assumed) only to read the card which was thanking Neal for staying there 😂
My function was at 18.30pm so I just had time to shower and change, and go to the hotel bar briefly before leaving.
The bar was packed, but only two staff serving, another wait.
Anyway, breakfast was lovely and so was the room and the view …. Eventually
