    If you're sharing that means you need 6 rooms. Why not just phone up and book 3 then phone back and book the other 3, Just a thought.

    I guess it depends on the size of the hotel but 6 rooms doesn't seem like alot to be classed as a block booking!

    hi,
    my friend stayed at Jury's inn for her hen weekend, don't think she had a problem booking. You can book travel inns on line so can do what finishrich said there quite easily.

    15 of us irish lads have just returned after long weekend stag in jurys inn. Was clean & close enough 2 central station. We had originally booked it on a b&b basis but breakfast was £9 when most of us would never b up in time anyway. Residents bar closes early!!!!!
    It's a great day for singing a song / It's a great day for moving along / It's a great day for morning to night / It's a great day for everybody's plight.

    i went in dec to newcastle for a stag night we decided it was better just to hire a bus and driver, 12 of us cost in total £245 and the bus left glasgow at 2pm and we got back at 7am.

    When making the block booking quote a name of a business either one you work for or a made up one, and state you need to make a block booking for work colleagues because you are attending a conference in the city, you won't get turned down guaranteed.
