​
- How do I book the rate?
Click the link button, scroll to the booking section on the Holiday Inn page, and select the dates that you want from the range of September 8th - 11th. The room rate should be the only option that appears when you click search and will include MalkieriCon in it's description
​
- What happens if the link doesn't work?
Try it another device first. Some testers found it worked on mobile but not on their desktop. If it still isn't working feel free to reach out to us and we'll confirm if rooms are still available at this rate.
- It doesn't state that breakfast is included?
Even though it wont say on the booking page, breakfast is definitely included. We've had this checked from the hotel's side of a booking and it shows on their systems so have no fear!
​
- What happens if I miss out on this rate?
We have the option to negotiate for more rooms at a discounted rate, however we do not know what the cost will be as it will depend on when this happens and current room rates the hotel is offering at that stage.
​
- What is the cancellation policy for these rooms?
