Got a call from the hotel in Staffs today informing me that room prices will increase to £66 from the price that was quoted, a lot of hotels are cutting prices, is this lot taking the the mickey or what, for fully booking the hotel they should be giving a BIG DISCOUNT ,should we call their bluff and threaten to cancel if they don't keep to the price that was quoted at the beginning,what do you think, I for one don't like being screwed.

I can't come anyway, but it seems to me that this hotel thinks all ex-Royals were members of the said family, or at least Colonels!
ReplyDeleteIt's not run by the Royal(s) Bank of Scotland by any chance...?
The price i was quoted was £138.00 for the weekend.....Stuart
ReplyDeleteCall your Consumers advice or Citizens advice office Michael. Over here they are not allowed to do it unless it was in their terms of offer that they could, if they wanted,increase the price. If there were no terms and they gave it in writing then they shouldn,t be allowed to do it,or if you have paid a deposit they should not raise the price.Get someone from the group to act on behalf of everyone to make contact with the horses mouth ( the manager) and suggest that if they are going to raise their prices then you would encourage the members to eat elsewhere. It might work.
ReplyDeleteYou could always pitch a tent in Brian Alens back garden. He only charges 30 quid and 5 to use the bathroom.
ReplyDeletedoes brian alen serve breakfast in the price?

ReplyDeleteDear Royals
ReplyDeleteRe the reported Premier Inn price by £4 to £66.00 per night, I have contacted Premier and explaind on our behalf our displeasure, They are going to contact this afternoon. My eldest granddaughter is a National Newspaper Reporter, I am sure she would love this story, I can see the Headlines now " Premier Inn Litchfield Increase Their Charges For A Veterans Reunion From the Pre Booked Price. " Watch this space

I think you should call their bluff they are just trying to come it.
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall that there is a chain of Premier Inns around the country.If that is so then their increase prices will be for all their premises.I for one would be most dissapointed if the re-union was to fall out for a few quid,but I have booked for that week and will travel to UK regardless.Junes not far off now! Best wishes to you all.

Hello all 105Togs
ReplyDeleteRe The Premier Charges, I have been assured that depending on the date that you booked the charge that you were quoted will be the charge you will be required to pay. Those members who booked on line will have had a copy of their booking with the price shown, those members who booked by phone should check with Premier to verify what price they were given and check that that price was valid for the day that you booked. I am informed that there is an increase but it should not affect those that booked in 2008. The increase is due to the extra activities that are going on in the area in June. Now for some even better news and a money saver. For those of you who are not accompanied and have booked a room, Premier have said that if you should so wish you can share that room with another person, I say person as I know what what some of you are like!!!!! It will mean that you can share the cost
but what you must do is inform Premier that you would like to do this so that they can split the beds to singles. You must tell them (Both Party's) your names, booking references and dates.
Kind regards to you all

ReplyDeleteNow we know why you are always so cheerful Derek, its that 'blow up' doll....hope you are prepared for the replies you are going to be getting???? Does that mean you are going to be huffing and puffing half the night blowing her up????
ReplyDeletewhat's a blow up doll for..? Is it a terrorist thing that goes BANG at important moments...?
ReplyDeleteAh-I've just taken advice - a blow up doll is a thing which flies away when you give it a love bite - Correct..?
ReplyDeleteNo he gets Rose to do that then charges her for the privelage.
ReplyDeleteRemember the song?
ReplyDelete"I wanna blowup doll,that I can call my own"

Derek,
ReplyDeleteThe actual song goes,as I recall the beginning,something like this:-
"I wanna paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellers cannot steal".
Our Jen knows how to deal with this "blown up" competition,always carries her hairpin.

Thats it Don, I remember now. I remember hairpins too..
ReplyDeleteThanks. Which beach are you sitting on in your chair with the shade over?
Derek
Derek,
ReplyDeleteThats me on my favourite patch on the Island of Juist off the North sea coast of Germany,we normally have a week there in the Spring and Autumn,lovely place,great food,and NO CARS!!!!That beach basket is my very own,if you "Blow" it up you'll see why!
----
Don
Sounds like you have found just the place....no cars and good food!!! I blew it up and saw 105??? Guess thats yours!!! Quite different those beach relaxers, look a lot more comfortable than some of the beach beds/chairs we normally have. Nothing better than finding a place which suits you and makes you want to go back time and time again.....we are still looking!
ReplyDeleteDerek R.
I was quoted £67:00 for the over night and £7:50 for a full Breakfast so it is on my booking confirmation slip = 0:20p charitable gift (not sure who it's for)
