Re: [nznog] Alternatives to... Commodore Airport Hotel

For both Airport Palms and Commodore you must tell them you are booking for NZNOG or they will tell you they are full. After Monday the rates for Commodore will go up $20-$30/night and the rooms will be available to non NZNOG guests.. Iain. On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 12:17 PM, Daniel Griggs wrote:

(This time replying to all) When I called them yesterday, their first answer was that there were no rooms.

But if you persist and say that you want to book one of the rooms that have been blocked out for the NZNOG conference then they put you through to the one person that knows about them. The reference number didn't do me much good. When I called yesterday there were rooms still available in both classes.

Can anyone confirm that they've spoken to the Commodore, specified the NZNOG Group Ref, and had it confirmed there's no rooms left? It's not just a case of rooms outside of those that're blocked out for NZNOG being all-out? (Seems surprisingly early in the piece for them to be booked out)

And some are booked at http://www.airportpalmsmotelchch.co.nz/ as well. Mention NZNOG on the enquiry form, am pretty sure they will still have rooms.

In case it is of help to others, my notes from "nearby" motels (walking distance if you don't mind walking, some of the ones further down the list are a pretty decent hike and/or seemed to have "booked out" issues, so YMMV). I booked at the Airport Palms, and as of earlier this morning it sounded as though they still had at least one more option for the Wed/Thu nights I wanted (ie, in addition to the one I booked).
