I only booked as we were travelling back from London on the Sunday, but had a concert to attend at Newcastle City hall and would not have had time to go home first.
Initially our train was due in at 6:37, however there were delays which meant it would not get in until 07:15 (concert start 07:30) therefore I rang the hotel to request a fast check in and if there was any info I could give over the phone to facilitate this, but they refused, only saying you can leave your bags and check in after the concert. I also emailed them but again they said the same.
Upon arrival, at 7:20, I quicly explained our urgency, but the check in was very slow and I was asked to provide all of the information I had previously supplied when I booked online.
After throwing our bags in the room we raced across town and got in the City Hall at 07:45, missing several songs from the first singer.
When we got back to the hotel we went straight to bed, but noticed there was heavy staining to the quilt cover, which we reported on checkout and also in 2 Emails, but never received any reply.
