I'm not sure what makes this a 'premium' overnight murder mystery break to be honest. You can book the Murder Mystery with a 3 course meal direct with Murder 57 so I assumed it was the hotel. We went with The Crown Hotel in Harrogate and although the hotel was lovely the room was very far from premium. I asked at reception and they said all of these events only include a standard twin or a standard double. Was quite disappointed as it was a 50th birthday gift. Even if we knew the room was standard it wasn't great, it was clean but so very basic, the wall paper was patched, there were screws where there should have been a picture but there wasn't a picture, there was a plug socket halfway up a wall but no table or anything to put what you were plugging in on (In our case a fan) which indeed did have to be propped on the suitcase! It was so very beige and bland! Rest of the hotel was lovely, as was breakfast. It was just the room that was a big let down when your expecting 'premium' and someone has paid for that for a special occasion. Murder 57 took a long time to confirm the booking (an issue with red letter day codes, I understand) The event started off confusing and felt a bit chaotic. (compared to others I have been on) The process wasn't explained very well, no paper or pens but did get better and was a lot of fun. My son's food was correct on the booking but he received the wrong meal on the night (luckily he's not a fussy eater and doesn't have allergies) I picked the right person and for the right reason but apparently that didn't go through to them on the app and so I didn't win the prize along with the other person that got it correct, which was disappointing. They did email me a certificate after the event but its not the same when its your 50th birthday present. Lovely thing to do and great fun but a few things from all three suppliers let this down and please don't advertise as premium as there was nothing premium about the stay.
