Free hotel stays

RedBern

I have booked 3 nights in Ramada New Yorker - going to NY at the end of the month - checked it against expedia - result first night - the Saturday (most expensive) FREE..... Trouble is I'm going for 5 nights ... so just looking for the prices for the other Ramada that looks central...

Are you going with another person? If so, could they book the other 2 nights in their name and put in a claim? (providing there is a cheaper rate elsewhere, of course).

Good result, by the way

yes, meeting my daughter who's been travelling since May - so she shares the same surname - I did wonder about doing that but wasn't sure if we'd get away with it? Suppose if it's a big hotel and different staff etc they may not even notice? There's another Ramada close to the New Yorker -Eastside or something - but it's not showing on Expedia or Opodo ...

I've just checked into Ramada Newton Park near Burton-upon-Trent. The front desk clerk said she could find no trace of my reservation and has taken photocopies of all the stuff I printed out. The strange thing is, I can still view it on www.ramada.com and it still says that the stay is free. Looks like it may be a pay-and-claim-back job...............

what a faff though! hope you enjoy your stay - hopefully they'll throw in a couple of complimentary drinks at least!

When we checked out, the same (very pleasant) front desk clerk fetched her (rather surly) manager who looked at the printouts and just told her that it was free. I suppose I may have got a smile out of her if I'd have actually been paying

Hi

We stayed on saturday night at Hyde Park, they gave us a double exec room (even though it had been changed on site) and we had no probs checking out . Room, movies, internet and music for free. Lovely staff....
Breakfast is £15.50 continental or £20.50 cooked - we went to Tesco metro up the road for danish pastries. The nearest tube is Notting Hill gate...fantastic weekend - thanks OP.xxx

Contact with the red brested one seems to have gone quiet It's a week since I sent the e-mail asking for my money back as promised. He confirmed he had received the e-mail on Wednesday as I requested and then not a peep since. Hope this money doesn't take too much chasing!

Cheeky I know, but what's the latest on this - I dipped into this thread a week or two back and haven't got round to doing more reading. Is it still on offer for 1 free night? And yes I know I'm being incredibly lazy not trawling through everyone's posts......I've had a glass of wine and it is 10.30......sigh :rolleyes:
