Just trying to book a room for me and the little 'un to come and stay on the Saturday night but was told I could only book two night breaks at £175 per night!

Anybody else experienced this?

Any way will have to give this a miss which is a pain in the bum as it's just too close to baby date. But will see how things are going.. if Baby has come by then i may make a apearance to say hi and well done..

Best of luck with it all...

31. GATWICK-CRAWLEY
HASLETT AVE, THE SQUAREABOUT
CRAWLEY, RH10 1UA
ENGLAND

Express by Holiday inn above

51. GATWICK-CRAWLEY
LANGLEY DR.
CRAWLEY, RH11 7SX
ENGLAND

Crown plaza above ££

I can ask Jo if she knows the GM's at any of these. To see if she can get a better rate for a small group..Only if people got stuck,
But with the express you will save a lot of money and if lots of people stopping over eg 10+ book a mini bus to and from.. only a sugestion..just happy to help.. :wink:

Doesn't look like you can book a single night or indeed that they have any - I may need to duck out then I'm afraid as I'll have my daughter with me and taking taxis etc. to other hotels is not going to really be an option.

Good news!

The 'Wedding Planner' called me this morning and I have a room at a reduced rate for Saturday night.

Therefore me, a Porsche and a mini me will be in attendance, see you there!

If you speak to the reservations desk they just say no to one night and the hotel is now fully booked, there are some rooms held back though and the wedding planner reserved me one of those.

Spoke to Sarah Clifford who was so kind to find me a double room for a very acceptable price indeed.

Best regards
