I was afraid this would happen one day.
Over the past couple of years, the declining attendance at Reading and the number of rooms that were actually picked up from the block that the hotel reserved for us, has cost them in lost revenue. That, along with entirely new management, has probably caused them to rethink their relationship with us.
The last two times they gave us a small allocation of 10 rooms a night, I begged them increase to 20, promising them that we would fill it. We failed to do it then, and last year as well.
Based on our past performance, their latest contract has given is the following.
Friday night:
2 Queen suite: 1 (this is not a typo) 1 room
King suite: 1 (again, not a typo) 1 room
Saturday night:
2 Queen suite: 5 rooms
King suite: 5 rooms.
Looks like they are wanting to give us only 12 rooms total for the weekend
After keeping the rooms at the same rate for over 2 years, the rate is also up $3.00/night, from $89.00 to $92.00 plus 11% tax, or $102.12/ night.
I will try to convince the hotel that this is not adequate for our needs. We don't patronize their restaurant as well as we could. Same with their bar. These areas would usually make up for what they would lose in room revenue. Things were very different when we were filling 30-35 rooms a night, not less than 10.
This may revert back to the way it was at the very first Reading. Show up and meet, decide to stay the night if you want and hope they have rooms available (which was never an issue the first weekend in April)
Will post my progress or lack of.
If I cannot prevail, I am not sure I would be willing to sign the current contract. Any advice or comments are appreciated; this is new territory.
I believe this is a management decision; the old management, with Jerry Bellistri, would not have allowed this to happen. All the great people who I have cultivated a relationship with have moved on.
