For the first time, I plan to attend the annual NZPIF Conference, despite it clashing with another conference that my wife will be attending at Hastings on the same weekend.
This event is being held at the Kingsgate Hotel, Te Rapa.
Having paid my fee, I went to the hotel website.
First hitch - the promo code they give you to access a discounted room rate is rejected as 'unknown code' by the hotel booking system.
Second hitch - if you check room availability for this weekend without the promo code you get 'no room availability' at the hotel.
Oh well, go to the alternative accommodation providers BJ's Motor Inn and see what they have got.
What they have got is 'Sorry, online booking currently unavailable.'
Yet another triumph for the accommodation industry.
I wonder, is this standard performance?
Are any of the well-known regulars here attending? Maybe we could meet up.
