no, not atall. you dress how you feel you want to dress. It IS a posh hotel, but not every person has to wear a suit and tie (for men) and a dress or that for women. Aslong as you dont go in to the hotel looking like a scruff, they wont mind. What i mean by that is hols in jeans, cloths about 10 sizes 2 big, etc... you know the type. but if you wear normal every day street clothes, they wont mind what so ever. The reason they wont allow in people dressed like scruffs is because the majority of people who dress like that are just looking for trouble. (sorry if i have offended) but honestly, you dont have to go out and spend money on new clothes just for the hotel.black-saturn wrote:The prize weve won is for one of the posher rooms!!

As i said, along as you wear clothes lol and walk in you will be fine
also, bearing in mind, you are having to travel quite a distance, so wear comfy clothes
and FYI you dont need a passport to fly anywhere in the UK, just photographic ID ie Driving Licence.Never do things tomorow when you can do them today.0 -
