MjCullen Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) So i am on the phone right now and they are telling me there are only single rooms available and i have just had to book those - And that they were the last two?? Do we know if more rooms will be available at the Con rate?? Edited October 26, 2010 by Mj Cullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechy08 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 There were twin rooms up yesterday when I booked one. They do tend to put rooms up in batches so its quite possible that some could come up in the next few days. I wanted a double but had to go for a twin but if more come up I am gonna swap for a double. All I can suggest is keep checking over the next couple of weeks.

MjCullen Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well i booked the single rooms they had left and they have put a note on my reservation to say i want one twin and one queen room. But they are still telling me that they don't have any others available. I'll give them another try tomorrow and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechy08 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Just had a look at the website and it is still showing twin rooms available. Have you tried booking through the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCullen Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Just had a look at the website and it is still showing twin rooms available. Have you tried booking through the website? I tried over the website but it wouldn't give me the con rate when i tried to book it. Maybe its because i am looking at 17th - 21st? I'm wondering if that could be why? Still the woman on the phone really was not much help and i suppose the accents didn't help either. I've had no trouble phoning them before to book though.

Madame JoJo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 You can only book con rate Friday-Sunday night. Thursday or a Monday night would need to be booked under normal rate. I remember someone having same problem when booking ET4. See if you can speak to Emily on reception she was extremely helpful when I had a problem this weekend.

snakequeen Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I managed to book 2 rooms ok yesterday, they only had twins tho but a room is a room in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCullen Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion. I find it hard to actually get through to the hotel - i end up speaking to some reservation desk in america by the sounds of it. I've re-checked the site and it's now giving con rate for the Friday and Saturday nights only. Even thought the Hilton site says this: --------- Eternal Twilight 5 Welcome to the Eternal Twilight 5 reservation site! A block of rooms have been reserved for February 17, 2011 - February 20, 2011. Booking a reservation from our site is simple. To begin the process, click on "Book a Room" below to receive your group's preferred rate. See you at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel in February! We hope you enjoy your stay and your group's event! ---- Think i will wait until tomorrow and see if more are available at the Con rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MjCullen Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks hun :) I've spoken to two different people in the reservation department tonight and neither seemed to be able to shed any light on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 it may just be that there was a flurry of bookings after ET4 and the office needs to ring to ask them to release more rooms Hopefully will be sorted soon for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee75 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I booked a twin for Fri to Mon and it was all at con rate!!! Did it all in one go too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiveyron Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hopefully they're releasing them in batches as that hotel is a small continent in itself !!!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjCullen Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thank you for the advice all. I have had to book the nights separately, as that is the only way the hotel website would recognise the code - really strange. So i have a reservation for thursday night, another for Friday to Sunday and then another for Sunday - Monday. Totally stupid! But it worked and i have rooms booked now.
