I booked a 2 bedroom apartment for one night as we were going to watch Olly Murs at the O2. There were 3 adults and 3 children in our party and i chose this so we could all stay together even though it was a bit pricey at £234 for one night! We travelled up from Suffolk and after a long journey in the snow was lookin forward to getting in the apartment. When we arrived at check in we were asked for a £250 deposit (which i had queried in the week and was told we wouldn't have to pay as we were only there one night and they would secure it against the card i had made the booking with) due to being told this info i had no other cards with me, the man on reception was very rude and offered me no help yet could clearly see the children were becoming very upset at not having any where else to go! I then phoned my husband to pay the deposit over the phone but was then told by the man on reception that he couldn't do that.....in the end my father in law had to get on the phone and insist the man try as it was our only option he did reluctantly and the payment went through this was an hour later after we arrived!!!! If he had done that in the first place we would have been in the room at 4 when we got there....after all that the apartment wasn't too bad but could do with a little TLC.
