I stayed at the Charing Cross property a few years back (on priceline) and was quite impressed.

I'm occasionally getting the page back again, but it's the same "Check back at 11am" message. Suspect it's probably being cached somewhere.
At least I've got Speedbird's YouTube video to entertain during the wait! :D
Managed to get to the 1st page. http://www.guoman.com/hotels/united_kingdom/london/the_grosvenor_hotel/hotel_offers/150th_anniversary_sale.htm?tmcampid=20&tmad=C&tmclickref=FLASHSALELIVE&utm_source=NEWSLETTER&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=FLASHSALELIVE&codetype=PROMOTION&code=RRR80
Thursdays to Mondays only.
But the booking engine is still in revolt.:rolleyes:

Managed to get onto the first page too, but when I try searching for availability I get the following message:
"It appears that an unexpected error was encountered when posting the form.
The post returned an Exception undefined: undefined"

Now saying promotion code not valid or has expired.
Strange that hotels never seem to get these things to work!

hank you to everyone for trying to book The Grosvenor Grand Room Rush. Although fully prepared for this promotion, due to unprecedented demand, we have experienced technical difficulties with the website.
We apologise for disappointing you, but we have decided to postpone this promotion. Please send us an email to information@guoman.co.uk and we will be in touch later today with an update.
Someone is about to have a looong day in the office!

Can you paste in here please?
I just got off the phone with their reservations.
I thought I'd be cheeky and try to get this over the phone as website was down.
Got told that the offer has been withdrawn and that an email will be sent out to everyone who was on the list when its back on.
I told him I wasn't on the list and asked if I could be added but was told you could only get on the list if you had stayed there before.
Was also told they wouldn't be able to get an extra bed in the standard room for Little Miss, but I could probably upgrade to an exec room which would have it for £60-70 on top.
Oh well, was worth a shot I guess :)
(strapline changed :D)

I work a stone's throw away from there, I may stay the whole of April, save my commute!
That's weird. After some patience I managed to book a room at 12:25 today.
Thanks for the tip!

They just sent out an apology email for their 'crashed' reservation system and offered a draw for the remaining rooms.
Mods please remove the image if it contravenes board rules.

A quality hotel, great location and - as suggested by another OP - beats the price of the commute!
