Business
trips to Newcastle. They are so boring and laughs are few and far between. After the
excitement of a 5 hour train journey is over you find yourself sitting on the
bed with a lukewarm Pot Noodle and a packet of wine gums. The only
entertainment I have is flicking though media packages and perusing the DVD
covers of the movies that I daren’t pay per view for the shame of having to
settle up the next day in reception.
So one of
the things I like to do to alleviate the boredom happens way back at the start
of the journey – filling in the Accommodation booking form. Boring enough I
grant you. But there is always that little box at the end that most of you
probably just skip right past without giving it any thought. Think again amigos
– this is a rhapsody between your imagination and the reciprocation of the
hotel staff. It also serves to determine whether or not the hotel staff
actually read your special requests.
Most of the time they are ignored but ever
so occasionally as my hand opens the door with trembling anticipation, a gem is
revealed and you are justly rewarded for your efforts. My heart gives out a
little “Yay!” and a leaping high five. (Back of the net!)
The most highly recommended Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle - I salute you and your wonderful staff.
