Are these deals a bit of a con?

Whenever I see the adverts I try and find said rooms to no avail.

I am pretty sure I am keeping within the restrictions of 2 nights min stay on certain dates etc etc

Although a hooker sounds tempting I would just like to go to a premier inn that is near some good cycle routes! Maybe New Forest way or Lake District..

Lots of caveats. Certain hotels only, booking weeks in advance, at least two nights stay, etc.

So, if you are able to plan a two night stay at the M62 services six weeks in advance, it is the deal for you.

ive tried with all those hotel deals, never have ANY rooms available at the low price they advertise. ive even tried weird places as a test, like rotherham and milton keynes. still never found any rooms at the "bargain" price they all advertise.

It does seem very suspect.

They should have a link which shows a calendar of different hotels and the nights the "29 rooms are available...

I've done this a few times and it actually works !

You have to click on the £29 deal bit and it gives you a range of locations.

We have got a family of 4 (2 young kids) into the one at Gatwick Airport for £29.

There is no minimum stay, but you do have to book a month or so in advance.

there was a list on their website which put all their hotels into categories -

those with rooms at £29, then at £39, £49 and £59 i think.

from there it was quite easy to get the best rates as you knew the cheapest available at your preferred hotel. i got 2 nights, friday and saturday, in earls court for £98.

now that list isnt there. i cant find it anyway, and that makes it alot harder as you dont know what the £29 hotels are.
