Made Reservations! Got a better rate...

Hereby announcing that I've made reservations for Margie & I for October 15-17 (staying through Sunday, leaving Monday) at the Wingate Inn. My heart's a-beating with excitement... or could that be either a resurgence of my palpitations, or muscle tightness from the peck flies?! LOL!

Anyway! I called the hotel *direct*, not using corporate reservations and a toll free number, and got a rate of $100 a night the first two nights, $65 on Sunday. The Hotel's number is 1-828-665-4242, and I spoke to a lady named Kim. She initially quoted me something else, but then I said we were having a get together... used Phyllis' name! ... and she quoted me those prices. I've never gotten that big a difference calling direct before.

Incidentally, if you call the Wingate corporate toll free number (877-202-8814) and give 'em discount code #20392, you can get rooms for $112.46 Fri/Sat and $67.46 Sun. A bit more than calling direct, but hey, a few extra dollars is dinner for a night!

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks! DH just e-mailed me. He spoke to Kim and set up reservations for VBP and me so we are good to go! Got the same deal you did...for those that didn't...I'd be calling back and asking what was up with that?????!!!!

Guess we need to check with Hotels.com and see if we can get our money back or if they're willing to match it... I charged our reservations to them already.
