Rico <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can assure you that we paid very considerably more than £32.00.. per person NOT per room for the rooms mentioned. Indeed last year as the hotel was new, the rates were very cheap, but this year, ALL the hotels are very expensive. But you as the client have the ultimate choice. The big hotels knew of the date before even we did. they are in the business of making money, and they have the right to charge whatever the market will stand. Equally the deal we have at the University is in my my opinion, exceptional. Try buying a room at Cardiff for the footie or the rugby, and THEN you would good reason to squeel.

Trees 2,814 Posted October 23, 2007 So don't go then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted October 23, 2007 Lol I'm squealing am I ! Personally I'm sorted for a hotel. I was merely stating what I'd heard from a punter at Reading pretty much backed up what Spannerboy had stated in his posting. And Trees you are such a killjoy as ever Don't you realise that over 40,000 had one of the best nights of their life in Cardiff at this years Grand Prix ?

SCB 15 Posted October 23, 2007 Equally the deal we have at the University is in my my opinion, exceptional. Try buying a room at Cardiff for the footie or the rugby, and THEN you would good reason to squeel.Yet most universities charge £10 a night. Seems Cardiff University is making the most of the speedway!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbin' Along 5 Posted October 23, 2007 I have to say this looked a really good deal until I realised that with 5 of us it came to £300. I can get a limo and driver for half that, and sleep in my own bed - so that's what we're doing. However, to be fair to all concerned - the hotels in the Cardiff area have all put their rates up. The ones I originally contacted last June were quoting £65 for a family room, and when the date was announced the price suddenly rocketed to £100 for the same room type.

Rico 210 Posted October 23, 2007 How much would it be for your Limo to carry on to Reading and then I'd be able to sell off the room I have bought in Cardiff for an exhorbitant rate ? Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was not that clear, especially with teh breakfast arrangements but i should have looked more carefully....anyhow it makes more sense now I have ammended the ETAP pricing, and teh new leaflet will be up on our website by tonight. The room cost incl brekkers is £70.00 for 1/2 or 3 persons. Apologies and those who have already booked will have an ammended invoice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
