"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty." Lily Bollinger on champagne

Has anyone from AFF made a booking at these hotels? Looking at room rates for Saturday night and notice that the room rates have increased for HI On Flinders and both Hiltons.
Interesting, as the rates for HI on Flinders are now cheaper than last night
Advanced Purchase is now $275 and Flexible is $305 for standard room or king bed superior. Still over the top in my opinion.
HI Airport are still $153 and Flexible is $170 for a king bed superior.
Hilton on the Park price is the same as last night at $205 for advance purchase and $236 for fully flexible and the airport Hilton to $188 for advance purchase and $212 for fully flexible. (This is for 2 people at list price minus 20%)
Will anyone else be staying @ the Hilton on the Park... if so, I'd be happy to take you up on your offer, straitman
At this stage I plan to stay there on one or both nights though not sure which just yet. I've made a tentative booking for both nights.
Flashware you are welcome to one of the cards if you wish.

The hotel room rates seem to be fluctuating like the stock market.
When I looked earlier on the HI on Flinders had rooms at $311 for advance purchase and $345 for fully flexible. The room rates have now dropped to below your original quotes and are at $275 for advance purchase and $305 for fully flexible. The HI airport has remained the same.
Taking into consideration the 20% member for a stay discount the Hilton on the Park for Saturday night has a King Hilton guest room at $195 for advance purchase and $224 for fully flexible and the airport Hilton has a King Hilton guest room at $180 for advance purchase and $204 for fully flexible.
