Ladbrokes.com Irish Poker Festival Killarney 09- Official Thread

Ollieboy

Hi Connie/Neil,

Just want to highlight a problem I've notice with Ladbrokes and I'm not sure if its me reading it wrong or if there overcharging.

I won my package last night and I would like to say in the Brehon, I also want to change the nights off my accommodation.

So the options I were given was the following:

You can book a extra night on the Thursday in the Gleneagle for 110 or the Brehon for 130. No problem with this.

But to upgrade my accommodation for the 3 nights to say in the Brehon, it will costs me an addition 200. But the difference on the nightly rate is only 20 in the example above.

So am I missing something here or is someone getting rip off?

I know this mightn't be your area so I'm just looking for feedback before I take the matter further and ask for detail breakdown of charges.

Hi Connie,

I just check the hotels websites and the price difference per a night is €70, so maybe its a special offer to take a extra night or something, it just look wrong on there website the way they offer it.

But I'm book into the Brehon and really looking forward to it. I think 100k will look really good in my bank account this year along with the money from the footie league.

Thanks,

Oliver

the brehon must be a high quality 4 star for those prices when you compare the prices of rooms these days.

Where are other people staying and what is the cost and distance?

I stayed in Scots last year and its nice and cheap and on the main st of the town, about 3 miles away. Brehon is on the door step and the reports last year about it were excellant. I didn't stay in the Gleneagle but I thought it was a big complex with lots of options for eating etc, but a bit run down and in poor condition.

If you have a car you have loads of options in Killarney.

Stayed in the Brehon last year. Top class hotel, enjoy

There will be loads of choice that time of the year in Killarney. If you want me to have a look for anything specific (as in [EMAIL="B@B"]B@B[/EMAIL], hotel, hostel, appartment, just drop me a pm or post it here and I'll sort it for you.

That looks like great value, but it should be known, 5 mins drive is accurate, 20-25mins walk is about right.

Connie,

You mentioned on Saturday that you might be running another Satellite for the Irish Poker Festival this week - any details?

Should have picked up a ticket with my 6th place winnings last Saturday / Sunday - but at that hour of the morning, I wasn't thinking straight.......

Thanks.

For the guys who are still searching for a hotel. I am staying in the Killarney riverside hotel. It's 4 stars and a very nice hotel, much better then the Gleneagle imo, stayed there last year. It's also a lot cheaper. I paid 326 euro for a room for 4 nights. It's about 100 metres from the gleneagle.
