A short walk from the station took us to our hotel, The Hard Day’s Night hotel, the only Beatles themed hotel in the world! We were escorted to our room, and shown how all the high tech gismos worked. The room was terrific, although having a larger than life size picture of Ringo staring down at us was rather disconcerting! I put on the TV, only to hear that famous suspended G7 chord twang out, the most famous chord in rock and roll history, followed by John Lennon singing “It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog”. Terrific. I listened to the song three times before I put it off. Interestingly if you look at the chord notation for this infamous chord, it looks like the Beatles on stage! Check it out on www.harddaysnighthotel.com if you don’t believe me! A comfortable stay, followed in the morning with a proper English breakfast, with lots of cups of tea. A very welcoming, original hotel. Recommended.
