what I wonder is, what do they do if, say, your famiy is a niece or nephew who buses tables or helps out on weekends cleaning rooms? Not all employees will have email. If a friend was emailed for confirmation from a different hotel hard to tell if they'll forget to follow up if you ignore the request. Does the city you're staying in have another Radisson property and maybe cancel and re-book there? Also not sure where you're staying but quite a bit of the time I can score a good 4* cheaper on Priceline in London than this rate. In Melbourne it would have been a wash and in Sydney I definitely saved with this.A previous poster was asked at the other Radisson in Sydney but I wasn't asked at the property I stayed at.
