Village Hotel: Deal for BB3

[Heid]

I'll pm her number to you Mr Amoured Vehicle.

[madasahatstand]

any other good hotels in the area?

[tikay]

OK, I just booked at The Village.

"Reservations please"

"Just hold on Sir".

"Future Reservations speaking". (Future?.....)

"I'd like a single room for Saturday 9th September please".

"Name?"

"Kendall"

"How do you spell that?"

"K E N D A L L"

"Is that your first name, or Surname?"

"Surname".

"It's £80".

"Can I use the Grosvenor Casino Rate please?"

"Can you spell Grosvenor?"

"GROSVENOR"

"I am afraid we don't have any normal single rooms left at £80. You can have an Upgraded Double Room though".

"How much is that please?"

"£70".

"Eh?"

£70".

"OK"

"Smoking or non-smoking?"

"Smoking please".

"We don't have any smoking"

"OK, non-smoking".......

What is your name?"

"It's still Kendall".

"Is that your surname or first name?"

"It's still my surname".

"How do you spell it?".........

And so it went on.

I guess this is what happens when one gets old & crusty.

Behave Ralph, I'm in enough trouble already!

But I understand that even The Village don't move the low stack.

[Royal Flush]

What i cant believe is that pre deal you could get the room for £50, after the deal its £70. What are they trying to pull!

They re not, imo, trrying to "pull anything, they are just not terribly well organised.

There, but for the grace of God, go you or I.......

[TightEnd]

Pre deal they were empty-ish for that weekend, hence £50


Now they have all of us ringing, plus a wedding plus another function.....supply and demand...


They are nearly full..£70 is a decent rate for the best hotel in the area.....



Please perservere with central reservations...they are not the brightest sparks as many PMs to me attest to!

[suzanne]

It must be going up by the hour...Ive just been charged £80 

[Chili]

Lol Suaznne, I booked mine about 3 hours ago and it was £75.  They said there were no standard rooms left I had to have a Supreme one at £75.  Confused and perplexed?

[Indestructable]

Things to do list:
Must write to the Village and prewarn them not to offer Tikay Salad with his fish & chips. 

[Robert HM]

I read tikay's post before I called them just now.

Here's a rough idea of our telephone conversation

Can I make a booking please, double for 9th Sept

Certainly Sir....... that's £97.50

I have a code to give you, Grosvenor Casino

Oh ok, they used to have a poker rate I think..... I can't see anything

Look again, it's there

Fair enough that's £80

Try again

no, that's what it says.

Let me read you a text of a conversation (read out portion's of tikay's post, not much but enough to make him laugh)

Oh I see (giggle), what's his name, I'll check what rate they gave him

(I give him the name)

Oh I found it now. OK. no problem, that'll be £75 then.

Think again, it should be £70

Oh yes, that's what he got. I'll tell you what I'll add your room to his reservation as well to get the same price

Suits me, however you do it.

Good, can I have your Credit Card details

Didn't Tony give you his

Yes but you'll be paying for your own room

Oh OK then

Final comment from me was to stock up the bar with Red Bull and get more staff on from 4.00am

Agreed m8 its a nice hotel and still a good price. I just can't see that in the 2 days between when we booked and then the deal was done that the price went up that much!

[Heid]

I booked online at their site and got 50 quid per night for a double.

Use t'internet, chaps and chapesses...
