I have found in 2 days I have got my already discounted room rate for guests down from £70 (originally £120) to £55 just by asking for it, by saying.... if I get more that 10 rooms booked can I have a further discount?. Also just got a themed party the night before down by over £200 and a first drink included. Plus for having this extra party, my guests can now have the option of having rooms for 2 nights at £80! I think that most hotels/venues will bend a little in some way or other, as they dont want to lose the overall money it will bring them. Dont feel cheeky for asking! xx
