Shrek Fiona Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Spent quite awhile working on this. I wanted 26/04 to 29/04 but I was not having any success. After reading suggestions to separate dates I was successful with a bid of $90.00 for the 26th to the 28th. I was offered to extend my stay to the 29th, which I selected, but was denied. So the next step is to secure a room for the 29th. Obviously I will have to change hotels but at $90 a night it will be well worth it. Link to comment

BacSi Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am guessing you realize that Queensday stars on the eve of the 29th and goes fullonorange on the 30th?I am really curious how you make out for the 29th.A busy, wonderful, exciting, expensive hotel time in AMS QD is. Link to comment
Shrek Fiona Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 You are right Queensday was causing me all kinds of grief. First I tried 5* in AMS Center added north and stopped once I got to $145. I then tried 4* AMS Centre at $100, rejected then added north at $105 rejected. It was becoming apparent that getting a room in the City was going to be either expensive or nothing was available so I decided to add Schiphol at $110 and got a room at the Hilton Schiphol for the 28th. A bit of a compromise as far as location but certainly workable. Link to comment
