HELP...About Oct!

I was trying to make reservations for the Oct get together and I am getting info that I have to go through Hotels.com to get the group rate. I mentioned Phyllis' name and this is what I got.


I called the Wingate Inn directly and this is what happened. Can anyone help me with this? You can post or email me at fitness4health@yahoo.com


I am so confused!!

Here's a previous post from Cus that I found.


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!

Hi, Phylllis..I tried that and they gave me a run around. Told me to go to hotels.com and that is where your reservation was found. When I called the hotel direct, they said no one would have gotten those rates.


I am going to try again. Then I will just call the toll free number if I don't get anywhere.


Thanks for reposting this.

Grace. My DH made my reservations. He called the Wingate directly. He spoke with Kim.

Could you tell me the name he made the reservation under? You could email me if you don't want to use your full name on the board.


Thanks...Grace
