Strange pricing on travelodge

H ave been checking travelodge for to stay in Edinburgh on the first friday of December.

Got a price for 2 rooms, 2 nights totalling £168 (each room £42 a night).

Tonight, in readiness for the sale tonight/in the early hours, I just checked via the saver tool to show all rates, and if I ask for one room I can have it at £29 for the friday. Yet if I ask for 2 nights including that friday, there is no mention of the £29, instead it is £42!!!!

Should I fail to get the £9 rooms I will try for the £29 rooms seperately now I know they are there!

    I think that's always been a 'feature' of the Travelodge online booking system - you can book multiple nights, but it will charge each night at whatever the highest applicable rate is - so if different nights are different rates you have to book each night separately to get the best price
  • last time they were on from 6pm the night before so i manage to bag a room early but no joy this time..im giving up at midnight as have to be up early, bet i sleep in and miss it:rolleyes:

    Its now 01.35am and they are still not on yet.

    Im waitting to book a £9 room in Sunderland in Dec!!!!

    Update 02.35am

    Ive just booked a £9 room for sunderland just before christmas and then i did a test booking for same date after i booked mine and price had gone up to £19 so i think they must only have 1 or 2 rooms a night at the £9 rate.

    Woo hoo!

    Didnt get £9 room on offer (possibly already gone as previous poster suggested) but got them at £19, so total cost £76 instead of £168 :j

    Also managed to do it all in one booking!

    Now I can go back to sleep!
