I got a call and asked them to find me another hotel. They weren"t prepared to shuttle me in to the g from the airport hotel. They are getting back to me tonight. Should be interesting

Del, If I were you I would do what Jon has done and book the Icon (It was my plan B)

I tried that and got the same answer.

Just out of interest, are you guys all single occupancy? I get the feeling us billy no mates are getting picked on here.

yes I"m on my own.

They failed to ring me back so I rang them back (about 10 mins ago) and spoke to the nightshift who predictably were not able to tell me anything.....

In fact the lady"s word were

"I can not confirm whether you are staying with us or being moved to another hotel, because I may be wrong and dont want to get into trouble"

Anyone got a floor for me to crash on??

driving home FTW!!  cheaper, less hassle, less chance of being moved to a new location, less chance of being flooded out!!

Sleeping bag and change of clothes in the boot just in case......

Can"t have a drink.... but hey that might help the poker!

And best of all, probably home in time for X-factor! (hmmmm perhaps a good reason to book a hotel after all then)



Ditto. Altough an early exit will see me driving to Wycombe to watch pendulum. Screwed if i actually do well.

NellieG  is in her room at Days Inn ... no hassles  ...  however they said to her on arrival

" yes, you have an invalid room don"t you?"

She said "I know I"m old but I"m not an invalid yet"

hahahahahhahahahaha


Also, anyone checking in later ... there seems to be a wee problem with the debit card machine, so dn"t panic if your card is rejected or doesn"t go through ;-)

After all the problems with the Days (before and during the weekend from what I"ve heard), I"m happy to report that my cancelling it and rebooking a room at the ICON hotel was a great success.

Obviously I"ve only got the one stay there to base it on, but it certainly seems like a many many times better place to stay. The normal rate is only slightly higher than the Days and it"s easily worth the extra tenner or so, and if there are any deals about which make it the same cost then it"s no contest at all.
