We were advised at check in that we could potentially have a late check out free of charge or pay to extend a few hours but would need to book in the morning. In the morning we were advised that the manager was not in until after 10am and we would have to wait until then. We book this hotel every year for a race and this is the first rime it had been a problem. The race started before 10am therfore we could not speak with the manager
