Hello, I will arrive in Manchester at [full local date and time], need access to the room from [full date and time], and leave at [date and time]. Which start and end dates should I book to cover this period? Please also state when I can actually enter the room and the reception arrangements at my arrival time, and explain how a late-arrival notice is recorded after the booking dates are confirmed. I am not assuming a room is being held and have not booked.
