    Well chuffed - took me until 12.18 to book but got a room for the 15th July.

    Erm, just to annoy all of you poor unlucky ones - I have managed to book a £1 room every time the promo has been on! No special software or owt, just lucky I s'pose! :D

    I do get free train travel cos of my OH too, so a bargain trip each time - true moneysaving or what?!

    Deary me, I'm well happy anyway with the fact I have two rooms booked for 30 quid in May, I did however get one for the 7th of july, a £1 room too, but I got my dates mixed round and its actually the 7th June I needed it for....god damn!

    Found it easy apart from that !!!! up!

    i also wanted the 7th of june also for the UFC event but in was not availble so i just did not bother looking to book another date.

    just wondering i'm sure if you book more the 1 you might find they will cancel all under the rules they set out.
    Waddle you do eh?

    Yes, I used roboform, brilliant! I did mess around with the currency thing, silly! Roboform didn't set my expiry date correctly, but it was quick and easy to correct.

    I was on the site from 11.50am, with my dates already punched in. From 11.55, the £1 room rate appeared but not released yet. I just kept flipping the back button, then clicking reserve. At exactly 12.00 the £1 room rate appeared.

    This is a bit like registering for the moonwalk, its hit and miss who gets a place.

    Congratulations to all who got a place.
  • I'm sooo happy!!! First time I've managed to book a hotel room (been trying the last 3 sales!!!)...got it for my parent's 25th wedding anniversary! yippee!

    Thanks to the OP about the flash page...worked a treat!! (did take a few attempts tho on both laptops to get it all to go thro!):D

    Congrats to everyone else who managed to get them.

    Um, if they are all in your name, I'm sorry to say you've broken the terms & conditions and will have all your reservations cancelled. You are only allowed one night for £1 and one night for £29.
  • Managed to grab a room at the end of July for £1, and just heard from my girlfriend that she grabbed one the week before me for £1 as well!
    Looks like we'll have to go and see two shows :)
