Hi guys. Are hotels still shut in England. Was thinking of ctb in one.
A few tips;
- Rent a hotel room with a major chain for friday-monday/a long weekend (travelodge, premier inn, ibis, novotel, etc).
- Book a double room but as a single adult (some specify 2 adults by default)
- Don't pay for the breakfast service.
- Make sure they see you leaving/entering during the day/evening (Friday - day you checked in) .
- Switch on the TV and set volume at a reasonable volume whilst you're out.
- CTB in the bathroom during saturday daytime, but leave a big note taped to the bathroom door, and leave the light on so extractor fan stays on
There's no turn-down service due to covid. You have to request housekeeping with reception, and leave the room for 90 minutes, before they'll come and change the sheets (so you wouldn't have to worry about housekeeping coming and disturbing you whilst CTB'ing). If done correctly - you won't be discovered until checkout date/monday afternoon.
