I'm in Cambridge and trying another hotel ...

If you're making a room into a bedroom, it should be a double if you can possibly get a double in! Hospitality tray can go above the bed head, and you don't need to provide any power point for the customer except the same one as the kettle uses.	If your car park is round that back, you don't need a back door - send the customers around the side passage under the emergency staircase. Put safety tape on the staircase if it's a bit low and people keep knocking their heads and if you STILL have an issue replace some of the black and yellow with red and yellow.
Access to car park is along this back track that's doubling up as a building site at the moment. The unsigned cutoff into the car park itself leads to a series of white vans, with parking on the "First in, last out" principle.	You'll have a lot of bedding coming in and out. Always make sure that you leave space in the corridors for the guests to get past it.

I won't put a link in to their site, as their web site and the actuality on the ground have helped me to understand the shock of some of our hotel guests when they find the rooms ARE as good as the web site suggest!
