Corinne_Brown Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi - had a great time at Lords of Time last weekend, unfortunately it ended badly when the Hilton reception desk refused to give me a reduced con-rate for parking which means I had to pay £45 for 2.5 nights parking! I am assuming this is a mistake on Hilton's part as I have always paid a cheaper rate of parking at Hallowhedon when I mentioned ME or SM at checkout. Please can you advise this was the case as I will be complaining to the Hilton if I was supposed to be paying less for my parking - it raised the cost of the weekend considerably!

jael001 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Corinne were you staying at the hotel? They give a standard reduced rate for residents, I've never known them to give a rate for people attending an event there who aren't staying.

Queen_Sindel Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Some hotels did offer a special rate for event attendees in the past. The Radisson in London did for the last Chevron. But I am honestly not sure how the situation was for Lords of Time. I'll ask the office if they remember, I haven't found something online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was staying at the hotel, although the lady behind reception didn't ask me that, she just said she couldn't find any info on a reduced rate under any Massive Events / Showmasters / Lords of Time name. As it was 1am when I left there was no one else to check with and no crew around to ask. Thank you Queen_Sindel for looking into this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jael001 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I suspect that may be where the problem was, all the times I've stayed there the reduced rate was for residents, not specifically for the convention, but she should have checked if you'd stayed at the hotel, that should have been her first question and you should have had the reduction for that reason in any case. I'd definitely complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinne_Brown Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I didn't even realised there was a reduced rate specifically for residents as I've always mentioned the event name before to get the discount, although they weren't an SM/ME event. Will have to remember that in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
