By the 10th floor we were queuing on the fire escape and not moving - not great from an evacuation perspective, hopefully they’ll learn from that and I might have a chat with the manager on the way out (and refer him to a fire engineer friend of mine).

Anyway, after a couple of minutes of going nowhere, an announcement was made that it was just a trial (bollocks it was), and everyone went back to bed with a few choice words muttered along the way.

Breakfast is still excellent, despite being very busy!

I might be mistaken by I think that each floor should have 2 different sets of stairs for evacuation, so that if one is blocked, the other is still available.
