xkleex Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ive not been to Birmingham before, but the London Hilton didnt have a Fridge that you could use. They have a mini bar, but that worked on some kind of trigger, that as soon as an item was removed it was automaticly charged. Im assuming that it would be the same here, i may be mistaken though.

JaneDoe Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have a different question about the Hilton regarding car parking. How much is the daily rate? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegan5 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 If your staying in hotel it's £7 over night I believe x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDoe Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks! I'm not staying there but I can't see that it will be much more than that. I assumed around £10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegan5 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 lol we need to have a tuck shop in the vendors room The price of the food in the hotel is hideous, not quite sure how they get away with it to be honest... it's hardly the Ritz Carlton... infact the Ritz Carlton is cheaper in most places!

JaneDoe Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've just been browsing to find reasonably priced places to eat and tbh it's a bit of a night mare! Stuff it, I'll order room service and charge it to hubbys credit card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have told the bar person you didn't want it :) Their problem for charging so much for sugary water lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMidnightSun Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 About the fridges/mini bars... Ring up or on the day or arrival ask for the mini bar to be cleared out, that way any trigger charges won't be put on your account. I work in a hotel (of the same standard as the Hilton), so I'll be very surprised if they refuse to do that. Just explain you have items you want to keep in the fridge and don't want to be charged for things you won't be using. I'll be doing that, cos we are definately stocking up on the snacks! (Poundland anyone? Can't beat your faves for £1!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennieH Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 does anyone no whether we get breakfast at the hotel or not cos theres 3 of us staying in the room and weve payed £80 each so iwas wondering if brekfast is included???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachelsilver1985 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 depends if u booked a double room if u did then only two of you get it. If you booked a family room i would of thought so. I would check with hotel but if three of you sharing a double room dont check with hotel cause only 2 suppose to be in room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamplady Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've been to other conventions at the Hilton Birmingham and they had like a snack bar that sold sandwiches etc, does anyone know if there is going to be anything like this at ET3? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks! I'm not staying there but I can't see that it will be much more than that. I assumed around £10! Find out first, cos I heard it was much more expensive if you are not staying at the hotel. There was food organised by ME up at chevron Cant remember exactly how much but around £6-7 for hot dog/burger and wedges or meatballs and pasta, that sort of thing. Expensive, but nowhere near hilton prices You can also order dominos and have it delivered to the hotel, you meet them in reception, I have promised the boys we will do that at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneeadamson09 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Another Hilton question which I've asked before and I'm sure lily answered but I can't rember the answer! Do the rooms have hair dryers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
