Baby listening services?!

[JumpHerWho]

It's my birthday soon, we're skint but DH said we might be able to go for a night to Brighton, my fave place for shops, restaurants, bars and general debauchery.

But... we have a 1yo. Any tips?! Just one night. So we book a room, he sleeps in travel cot in same room reliably 7-7, even allowing for a change of environment he won't wake once asleep. Obviously we can't go out on the town without a babysitting service or something, but how does it work? Do they just sit on the bed MNing on ther phone? Do many hotels do a 'baby listening service' and how does it work?

Any words of wisdom gratefully received!
