Stayed in furthest in the end. Not too clean, shower hand broken, looked like room hadn’t been payed attention. Around 2:00, t.v turned on by itself waking me up. Mentioned to staff n was told maybe someone programmed it to that time. Moved to a different room n alarm went off few times. I guess the second was just an alarm set up by previous guest.

Best Western, rose n crown hotel, east street.
Many thanks . We will investigate to see if any other reports of a similar nature. Has anyone else experienced similar events Rose n Crown Hotel?
I’m at the hotel now. The TV went off at 2am this morning freaking me out as I read the previous respondent. I’ve checked the tv menu, timer is set to off. There is no obvious alarm setting. Very weird. I will mention it to reception when we check out. We’re in room 202.
Many Thanks for sharing your experience. You checked the timer so you have ruled that out? The timer might say a normal time but the TV time might be different and reset if a power cut. Remote controls in nearby hotel room is using the same frequency’s as yours? You know the type of thing where your TV starts changing channels on its own and you discover next door has same set up as you? These are plausible explanations. Or you might have just stayed in haunted room :),
