crepusculo Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 heya guys, just a little bit concerned as i called the hilton today to see what sorts of rooms were available, and the lady i spoke to informed me that there were no rooms left in the entire hotel apart from one twin deluxe room for friday and saturday. ive never had a problem getting a hold of rooms for the convention, so i was just wondering are other people having problems too and if massive events know anything about the hilton releasing more rooms nearer to the time? or if anyone has in fact booked a room and is now not going. many thanks, crepusculo (LA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself205 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've been trying to get a deluxe queen room and it's impossible. I contacted the hotel like one week or two after ET( and they told me no queen was avalaible which I found surprising with boooking so early. A few topics have been mentioning this issue but no replies from Massive Events. Not sure what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie_Nitram Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I just had a look at what other events were on at the NEC complex that weekend, and looks like Cliff Richard or the Dive Show could be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â LA, I take it you've booked for the dates they have (and the thursday as well???? - you and P, if push comes to shove and they don't have anything last minute on Sunday camp out with Me, Cherie, Z and Lyd. They'll prob have no-shows or last minute cancellations for the Sunday anyway xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDoe Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have been trying for ages to get booked in. In the end I managed to get a Twin deluxe just this morning which wasn't what I wanted but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If you create an online account with them, or if you're a hiltonhonors member (or sign up for it) - you can edit your reservations online, so instead of calling them every day looking for a cancellation if you want to upgrade/change room type, you'll be able to do it via the website xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamglass Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi The hotel is ultra busy due the popularity of Cliff Richard!! There are likely to be a good amount of cancellations as people tend to book too many rooms early on and then as they sort themselves out with roomies etc or drop out completely then rooms free up. I think the thing is to keep checking :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillianre Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi The hotel is ultra busy due the popularity of Cliff Richard!!   Sorry but hahahahahaha  Can you imagine if he stayed and all us lot wandered round dressed up!!  We're all about 60 years younger than his fans and he may get very happy at his "new group of fans"  Maybe he could appear at one of the theme nights as the entertainment.

Twilight_fanatic92 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I literally just booked the last room in the whole place :S  serioulsy?  Well when I called and tried to book a room they said all we have left for that entire weekend is a queen deluxe but others might get freed up so yeah  I was also going to ask whether anyone who wanted a queen room from friday till Sunday check out but could only get a twin wanted to swap just because me and my sister aren't overly psyched on the idea of having to share a bed :s :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The hotel is ultra busy due the popularity of Cliff Richard!!We're all about 60 years younger than his fans Unlikely, since the average age of his fans is about 60 (I used to work with one who was quite obsessed, so got to hear more about the demography of Cliff fans than I ever wanted to know or cared about ) Â Well when I called and tried to book a room they said all we have left for that entire weekend is a queen deluxe but others might get freed up so yeahtht's interesting because when I contacted them in March, they said they had no queen deluxe available left Presumably at some point since March somebody who had a queen deluxe booked has cancelled...

"Ooooooo Cliffie is soooo gorrrrgeous, he's the perfect mannnnn!" Â Oh heck, come to think about it, lots of my friends nod and hmm when I'm talking about Twilight....
