Rest assured that your Hall reception will continue to be open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week meaning that a member of reception will be around at all times no matter what you need help with.

Due to the Spring Break, there may be some changes in your cleaning services. Your reception team will have emailed you details of any changes in cleaning services so don't forget to check your emails.

If needed, your reception time can provide you with access to the bin store outside of these dates to remove your rubbish.
