Booked the Holiday Inn Express at Times Square with a 40% discount. Many thanks.
I noticed today that the rate has been further reduced and I would have saved a further $150 for the stay if I booked it today. As the rate required full pre-payment, and it stipulates no cancellation, I presume that I can't change the booking to the lower rate. Anyone know if this is possible or had a similar experience ?
Cheers
Neil

Barbene: I did the same at London Park Lane. Could have saved 200 Gbp if I had waited with the booking. Anyway, I tried to e-mail the hotel and asked if they culd match the new price, but of course, they couldn't... It was really irritating that day and the day after, but that's life and instead of thinking about it I am looking forward to my stay! However somebody told me I could try to cancel the stay, but I never tried. You might try that.

Same here. I booked a FNF rate for 1 nt at the IC Tahiti and it went down several weeks later. I e-mailed the hotel and they changed my res to the lower rate. It's worth a try!

I just tried to book through Steve Sickel's page and the rates were even higher than the very expensive rates going direct. Feb 1-4th at IC Sing if anyone has any tips (current best is over $450 on the holiday saver promotion).

[Edit] Doh! It was showing my company corporate rate. Sorry, didn't notice it at the top.
