QRS Sofitel Heathrow Airport

QRS or Quick Response is something i get rostered about twice a year, it is a dreaded duty to see on your roster as it takes over such a long period of time that you can make no plans.
Day One....check in at LHR pick up the works allocated mobile phone and check into the Sofitel joined onto terminal 5 at heathrow, this duty is 0700-1500 so an early start leaving home at 0530.
I was not used on day one so i left some items in hotel as we keep the same room and i went home to my own bed.

Day Two...i left home at 1200, i did not re-start my standby until 1500 but i thought i could have a relaxing bath in my room and chill out..at 2300 i was still here so stayed in hotel as the following day is the same again but starting at 1100.

Day Three...found an orange in my bag and made myself a cup of tes, the milk is in a plastic tube...yuk!! standby today starts at 1100-1900 then if i do not get used i will check on and start another standby tomorrow but with a 24hour call out period.,..this now is 45minute call out....so you have to be ready to go.

Hotel is new and very modern, minimalistic but very comfortable. Photos below!!!
