  The Hilton Venice let me down badly customer service wise last week. Diddled me out of my Honors points, claiming my corporate booking was ineligible (currently chasing via Honors Customer Service). And got a shrug and not possible when I went back to collect luggage and said I knew I’d left something in a drawer and could a housekeeping member let me back in to grab and go. Sometimes it’s the small things that set alarm bells off about a property.

    Even if it had already been checked into by someone else someone should’ve gone and got your belonging for you. I’ve never had a not possible. That’s really poor.

    Did you upset them in some way? This seems an incredibly stupid way for a hotel to behave

    Housekeeping may just possibly have recoverd the item anyway so I’d call late morning and ask to speak to them.

  Don’t hotel chains apply dynamic pricing and yield management? So that as rooms get booked for a given day, prices go up on the remaining rooms? Same with airline seats, whose prices can vary daily, it often seems,

  As such I’d have to ask “20% off what?” For all I know Hilton might just have raised the prices of rooms and I am only getting 20% off that higher price?

  Hotel room prices can also vary by the day of the week. Typically Saturday night is the most expensive and Sunday night is the cheapest, although it can vary. With London in the summer it is all about what events are going on – Wimbledon fortnight for example can really drive room rates up, sale or not.

    I booked Lost Property London in March for a gig next month at Somerset House, price for pay advance rate then was £249 and now in the sale is £199 – however I used Amex £50 off offer at the time so still £1 ‘better off’ 😎

      There’s another £50 off £200 spend off on right now. Doesn’t always pay to book early but it’s one of those never known situations.

  You should provide feedback to Hilton that their sales are garbage.

  Either do a sale and make the rooms cancellable or dont bother as youd be absolutely crazy to make non-cancellable bookings as there is a good chance that hotel prices will drop to less than whatever the ‘sale’ price is now.

  Berlin dropped from 350 4 months ago to 190 last month, canary wharf dropped from 280 several months ago to 140 2 weeks before the booking.

  Non-cancellable bookings are for fools.

    “Non-cancellable bookings are for fools.”
    Except of course when an opportunity arises to make a very late switch from a more expensive flexible rate.
