THANK YOU!!!!
I couldn't have asked for a more comprehensive or better written report. :-: :-: :-:
You've settled the few concerns I had, and I have booked the junior suite (for this one 'special' night, I REALLY don't need an extra living room - especially if the sofa is uncomfortable!).
I had a look around the Docklands Marriott & Four Seasons and remained unimpressed - for both I got the feeling that they'd got the team from changing rooms in with a massive budget to 'do' a luxury hotel. Neither had any 'soul'. I'm sure the CP doesn't either, but at least it isn't pretending otherwise and charging accordingly.
The CP has agreed to give us a 3pm check out - and that's the only extra I need!
I can't express how grateful I am for the time you've taken to write this, I REALLY do appreciate it!!!
