Bibs Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Booking is a clerical task, M-F makes sense. You should be ok as there were still a few rooms left but I've asked for specific numbers so we can be sure. It's a 160 room hotel so they can't have sold out already, I'll ask for a larger allocation if there are problems.

Gold FFM Sparky Posted January 19, 2009 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've tried time and again to call this number, but get busy or lots of ringing. Have just sent an email request for Saturday, so here's hoping... Quote British Fart to Florida, Nude to New York, Dunce to Denmark, Numpty to Newfoundland. And Shitfaced Silly Sod to Sweden.

Loose Cannon Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ditto, starting to lose interest now. I'll check my emails when I get back from work and see if there's reply, but it doesn't look hopeful As for booking being a mon-fri thing that can't be right, a hotel is to alle intents 24-7, I would expect to ring up almost anytime and at least get the desk staff. It a large chain after all, not Mrs Miggins B&B! Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket63 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) I used the email and it was all good. This was last week. I had a return call on the number I gave for contact purposes the following evening asking for credit card details, job done! Almost. I would note that the number left in the message was for DHL! and discontinued at that with a message saying as much. Anyway................. I got the number for reservations from the internet in the end. Immediate answer. Sorted.

Gold FFM Sparky Posted January 20, 2009 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 By coincidence, that's roughly the time today (Tuesday) they called me back to confirm - yaaay!

Paul C Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ten past ten is the time to call then guys. 10.10am tomorrow make sure you are in the right place with all required items or you've blown it.

Loose Cannon Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Success, caught the shooting star that is the booking office this morning. Funny they said they had already booked us in via the email I sent, but didn't respond. Never mind, all sorted. Stunning discount too, thanks for the effort.

bzguy Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Bibs, are there still rooms available ? I would need a double room, thinking to go to Donington this year, I'd opt for an overnight form Sat to Sun Would I get a reward for the longest distance traveled ? It's about a whopping 600 km's ...

Laura Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hans, best way to find out is give them a call, their number is 0044 1332 815808. The bookings need to be made directly with the hotel rather than through Bibs/LEF. I believe we've got members from Denmark, Finland and Austria who might have something to say about who travelled the furthest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 The hotel have been in touch to see if we were happy about the weekend and I passed on the feedback I heard saying that we were very happy but the bar was pricey (although the rooms were very good value) and it shut too early. I think overall we were happy and I for one very much enjoyed my stay. Hi Bibs Thanks for the feedback. I will pass on your positive comments to the team. We would be delighted to welcome you back next year. I have spoken to the General Manager, and he is happy for us to negotiate a discount on the bar prices for your guys. We will also ensure the bar is staffed until much later, now we know you like to stay later. Let me know when you have your dates for next year, and we will again do you a great deal.

Loose Cannon Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Rooms were clean, beds comfortable and the breakfast fantastic (kept me going till 5pm). For the price it was an amazing deal, thanks to whoever set it all up. Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbers Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Must admit the hotel was nice but I was very angry that they shut the bar at 1am after giving us exactly 1 minute notice. I was in the loo and when I came back it was shut! Wrote a letter of complaint as there wasn't even a Manager who I could talk to! There were 30 of us still wanting to drink and their bar is advertised as 24 hour. Overall very nice though. Quote Possibly save your life.

Bibs Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 You should have just taken it out on the light fittings, that's an LEF approved method of complaint. It was 2am too ya drunken bum!
