hi
bongalina, thank you for your input. It is great to have info from the primary source. Magic of FT!
As stated earlier, fire alarms happened before to me as well but this is Murphy's law, things go wrong on holiday. I, myself, was stpd to ran down in pyjama on barefoot and being with very little kids made it even more upsetting and just the fact it was at 4am sharp made it a bit suspicious for me... that's it.
I learnt a lot of stuff from the replies, thank you very much again. No idea why I didnt figure these out before, some sound really obvious.
Stay in the hotel was excellent, thank you, Drayton Manor package rulez!!!
